i'm still standing
in the quiet hallway
opening doors
exploring what
awaits me
with each turn
of the knob

i'm mesmerized
by the variety
surprised that
i continue
going inside
new rooms

sometimes the magic
of a door calls me
forth to look around
and put one foot in
experience the
inside

yet i never fall
completely and
close the door
behind me

i suppose
i will have to
do exactly that
pick one room
someday

i'm still satisfied
to rush around
opening doors
finding joy in the
little treasures
given to me
