I often fear the simplest routines,
answering the doorbell being one.

Outgoing went out
when abandonment came in
and the meeting face to face of,
became a phobia.

Many months of loneliness
have taught me to push through those fears
to get where I need to be.

But that doorbell..

So I peek, if I can,
to see if it is a stranger,
not too hard to do
when one has 47 windows.

Yesterday I waited
until the footsteps left.
Opened the door...looked to my left,
and then to the right.

There sat a dozen red roses
and a colorful Spring time "Get Well" bear.

I feel lifted today,
as I view them upon waking.

Thank You,
M

fear fences us in
then we miss the finest things
as you have just seen
