NO VACANCY

Into my life you came
signing my guestbook
obtaining the key
that unlocks each of my doors
one by one

as you enter each room
you light a candle
to chase the darkness
with flickers of hope

I watch you bring in your luggage
back and forth
in and out
up and down the stairs

filling each room
slowly, one by one
with all that is yours
unpacking your soul

Lighting each hearth
with matches of wonder
a soft glow fills each room
with restful warmth

Settling in for the night
Wondering which room you will occupy
You whisper softly,
"All of them"

Wondering how long
you  will be staying
You whisper gently,
"FOREVER"........

With a  smile on my face
and a sparkle in my eye
I go outside
and put up a sign
"No Vacancy".......
