you open me like | fingers clasped in prayer | you come into me | unfold my fist petal by | delicate petal touched | by spring :: (i do not know how you unfold | my fingers are yours as you | open yourself revealed i see | my self) :: you open me like | a lamp in darkness | you come into me | stealing softly you light | my chamber of echo :: (i do not know how you light | my room you move into slowly | box by box, bit by bit | you unpack and fill my empty | with your light) :: you open me like | a lock i had but never knew | you come into me | unlocking me like a piercing | key to a me i | never lived :: (i do not know how you unlock | i do not know how you light | i do not know how you unfold :: my locked room of falling petals) :: but :: (thank you)
