i heard a knock upon my door; <br />a stranger's voice, i almost knew. <br />against the pleading of my soul, <br />i turned the key, and let him in. <br /> <br />'gather your things, it's time to go! ' <br />'better yet, just leave them here.' <br />i rose and dressed and took his hand, <br />and left without looking back. <br /> <br />what we fear the most is sometimes the best. <br />what's done is done, the curtain falls. <br />as every creature great and small <br />looks upward to catch a falling star!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/falling-star-the-stranger/
