A closed gate, ornate, elegant, opulent
a spell, a pause, a glimpse
of a remote splendor
that wraps around a lord's mansion,
tantalizing, teasing in its veiled dimensions,
a call for the imagination,
but there the sojourn ends.
You move ahead to a simple homestead,
hungry, thirsty, tired to the bones.
It stands humble, unkempt,
lush green, the tree that holds
a shadow over its intimate,rustic face.
Someone looks, out opens the door.
Every brick in the wall speaks, greets you to a welcome smile drawn right across walls,
unceremonious, warm, it knows exactly
what weighs on your mind.
