Behind the Door

A blustery cold day with snow 

not sure it was to be rain or snow

Streets wet and glistening, 

hovering grey clouds, 


soggy piles of multicoloured leaves 

lay exhausted against curbs and fences

In such a walk one never knows 

what’s just around the corner.


Robins, wrens and sunshine behind 

a faerie door! Little people live 

and play inside this gnarled old tree 

with green lawns, bees and wildflowers.


my journey to the library

became a happier mission,

my steps easier, my heart lighter, 

just because of that faerie door.


“Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale.”

~ Hans Christian Anderson
