Knock...

Knock...

Knock...

I hear at the door, a knock.
Who would call on me, this time of night?

The door slowly opens,
small lantern in hand
To reveal a small package on my stoop.

Where have they gone?
I ask to myself.

This little gift,
Anonymous to be sure,
Was given on no foreseen pretenses.

Knock...

Knock...

Knock...

Again I hear the door's call.
Who again is here for a visit?

But nothing lies in wait for me,
At the open door.

Who knocks on my door?
This question I ask three more times,
Until the dawn rises.

Knock...

Knock...
