Knock Knock Knock For Charmaine Masson

Here I stand 
Knocking,knocking at this door

But the answer: the cold hoot of an owl.

Here I stand,under the stars
Knocking;knocking at this door

But the answer: the howling winds 

Here I stand,battered and bruised 
Knocking,knocking at this door

But the answer: a chilled trill of the cricket song

Here I stand cold;oh so cold
Knocking,knocking at this door

But the answer: the gentle whisper of rain

Here I stand with a tired soul
Knocking,knocking at your door

But the answer: the quite crack of the window shutters

I came back!
But no answer…so on my way I’ll go
Maybe next week you’ll open your doors to a wounded man?

So a tear I leave on the dusty doorstep as a calling card
For I was here
