Garden Door

notanightlight:

You reap what you sow,
So I planted a door,
To take me to places I’ve not been before.

And though it may earn me,
Some curious looks,
I water it with passages read from my books.

I clear out the weeds,
(Save a few morning glories),
And dream about places known only in stories.

And when people ask me,
Just where will it go?
I tell them that I don’t really know.

But I can’t wait to see,
Can’t wait to go in!
Just as soon as it grows big enough to open.
