when the world FIRST OPENED ITS DOORS?
Ann Iverson
When the world
First opened its doors
We waited in silence.
Once inside
We gazed out windows.
We saw:
Leaves dancing
In their orange and yellow circles
Snow falling in complicated squares,
Ocean roaring a tided message.
When the world first opened its doors
We saw:
Mountains to climb
Deserts to bear
Wars to endure
Rivers to swim
We saw darkness.
We saw light.
We opened the windows
To let air in
We began to breathe.
