Open me
like silence waiting
Open me
like rings upon rings
open
like a trapt door
like a bad lock
like something well hidden
long forgotten
a closed book
a sealed box
like a bottom drawer
I have never been open
and I want to know who she is.

Ice folds and i am found in winter.
Winter has grown to Spring.
Spring ended in fire.
Summer spent with little water
and now, exposed to
falling leaves, the Autumn season
becomes me, earth tones, golden weather,
time is slowing
and i want to know
what i may have missed
what i could have been
what i might still be.
