The Knocking

The tapping is faint
And slowly builds up
To a hard knocking
Hiding behind the door
Knowing that its death
Coming to greet me
The days pass
The door does not open
The door shudders
But stands strong
Against the hurricane strength
Of the knocking
I huddle deep down in my winter coverings
Waiting for death to pass
To allow me to continue another day
Weeks have gone by
My ears awakened more
The door is no longer shuddering
The knocking is no longer as strong
Slowly the knocking eases down to a tapping
I awaken one morning to silence
Slowly I open my eyes
I peek out to see
Afraid that I will find death standing over me
I hear a whispering
But its time to be brave
To see if death has come to visit me this day
I crawl out from my coverings
Slowly I go
It is time to find what the whispering is
Has death come for me?
The whispering is music to my ears
For I have heard this sound before
With a slow smile beginning to form
I know what is in store.
Peeking out the windows
To my delight
I see the spouts of green
Opening the door
I shout out with glee
That the season of death has passed me by
For the birth of spring has come
Once again to bring hope, sunshine, and new born life.

Here's hoping that when the groundhog comes out of the ground, he sees what most of us wish for the coming of an early spring

Ohhhh, I so want spring to come too, but ya did had me fooled in the beginning of the poem....

Very Good ((((Snuggles))))

As I was reading,, Confussion filled my mind,,, My poor snuggles,, i was thinking,,, Sheshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Dont do that to me,,,

Hell Bring on spring,,,

Sorry everyone didn't mean to cause confusion


I just am finding a weird kind of comparision lately in writing something that makes you feel the bad, then shows how it can all turn around to be good

Tis okay all forgiven

Snuggles, this rocks. Ya messed with my mind and I loved it!

Nice write snuggles!

Thank you

I am venturing outside the box, with my writing

You're very welcome!
Judging from what I read, you're doing well. I'll look forward to reading more! :)

Pam that was good....just don't let death in..keep the door closed.

If the groundhog disappoints you, there is always groundhog stew.. but the daffodils will be showing before long
