I open the door <br />to barking dogs <br />heart beats roar! <br />I slam it closed, <br />lean against it <br />hoping to <br />shield the terror <br />that eats me alive <br />Deep inhalation, <br />calms the beast inside <br />while guttural pitching, <br /> reverberates into <br />jellied knees, wobbly stomach <br />then, snap! chaos into order <br />'I firmly resolve', <br />strength building within <br />'with the help of thy grace', <br /> to face my demise <br />or whatever it is <br />Opening the door, <br />with grim expectations <br />I'm greeted by jumping <br />and licking Dalmations <br />definitively marked <br />in black and white <br />lavishing me <br />instead of biting!<br /><br />Adryan Rotica<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-door-2/
