Knocking at the Door of Strangeness


In the winter of the day

The brethren of green wear white;

Blue celestials are veiled in gray

 

O'er the long winding stone path

Alone through the edge slight

Where the narrows narrate wrath

 

Through a forest of green pines

Scratching at the heavens as hackles

Of the mad dogs running along the lines

 

Into hell’s fires;  licking at the open adit

Overseen by gargoyles strained by shackles

Spewing their fit with spitted warns  “Let It!”

 

“Beast, what matters do you keep

Beyond this entrance of dark and fear;

What remains there to be found within deep?”

 

“Who is it that stands at the door?”

The unrelenting knocks seek an answer clear

The pounding blows do more implore

 

“Open, Open! “ - For neither evil nor good with stand

At the threshold of the splintered barrier

The visitant is in your eye and calls with your hand

 

Shall you let it in; shall you let it out

What saith the incessant voice; shall it be harrier

Shall intents become contents to live out in doubt

 

“Who is it that stands at the door?”

With unrelenting knocks seeking answers clear

The pounding blows do more implore

 

In the winter of the day

The brethren of green wear white;

Blue celestials are veiled in gray.
