Glass Door-Knobs
by Kathy T. Camp
Glass door-knobs
Crystal clear
Diamond-shaped handles
Turning and squeaking
Opening the ancient door
Covered in cobwebs and
Dark stained wood
Wavy glass in the top panel
Specks of bubbles in the glass
Peering through
At the outside world
Tall pines and
Briars twisting around dead fallen limbs
And dormant trees
Waiting for the winter to pass
Glass door knobs
From another home
Another life
Removed and now
Sit waiting for their new home
A new door
That has not yet arrived
But is sure to come
Because a new door
Full of hope is already in my mind
And heart.
