Secret Door Of Time

Secret Door Of Time

The boy looks at the photo of the girl
that shimmers so small in palm of his hand.
Sunlight gleams through window of his bedroom,
making the typewriter on his desk glow.

Three ravens on the telephone line caw
as cars glide flashing on the road below.
The boy imagines himself and the girl
in the library talking about horses.

Every door in the infinite hallway
leads to some planet in the universe.
The diamond on the wedding band glows blue
as clear water in the new swimming pool.

The girl in the pink tutu likes to twirl,
traversing mountain peaks across the land.
She pretends she can fly on the straw broom
while running circles in new-fallen snow.

The girl and boy sit together and draw
picture of the clown who plays the banjo.
The boy imagines himself and the girl
sharing secrets about atomic forces.

The girl on stage dances intense ballet,
demonstrating math of the multiverse.
The diamond on the lost ring is the clue
that reveals the petty greed of the fool.

The blind angel still guarding the gateway
to paradise puts lost key in his hand.
The boy opens the secret door of time
to search for the girl in the photograph.

The girl appears at top of the stairway,
wearing diamond crown as queen of the land.
The boy proclaims his love in clumsy rhyme,
recorded in song on the phonograph.
