-->"Each friend represents a world in us,
A world not yet born until they arrive,
And it is only by this meeting,
That a new world is born."

Anais Nin

Music: Daybreak

He first appeared at my door
On a cold dawn, months ago
Now, he actually knocks on it
Even in the rain or in the snow

I have no idea why he picked my door
Especially with all of our dogs and cats
But now, he visits me every morning
We’ve both come to love our little chats

His arrival is always announced by Flower
She sits in the window, waiting for him now
When she first spots him, she prances all about
She alerts me to his presence, with loud meows

And Flower’s loud meows also now alert our canines
Who all now anxiously rush to the door, to bark at him
He defiantly stares back at them, with no worries or fear
He must know their chances of catching him are very slim

He also knows that when I now open the front door to greet him
I will have some very delectable nuts for his early morning feast
I perch out on the steps, as he eagerly chomps on his breakfast
He grunts, and he groans, and he eats, while he chatters with me

I still have absolutely no idea what he is talking to me about
And I doubt that he understands any of the words that I say
But both of us enjoy our morning visits out on my front steps
After a while, we say our good-byes, and we both go our way


Each friend represents a world in us,
A world not yet born until they arrive,
And it is only by this meeting,
That a new world is born.
