Sounds of Footsteps
I hear footsteps at my door …
I wait…
I pray…
But no one comes in.
Two pairs of shoes
Slip inside the room
Forget to bolt the door
A touch shivers my body
I turn back
Thinking my prayers are heard at last
But – What! No one
Was it a dream then?
Again
The sounds of footsteps I hear
I fear…
Two pairs of shoes
Slip inside the room
Only to vanish again somewhere
I open my eyes with a sigh
But I don’t bolt the door…
I wait…
I pray…
They come
And go
But…
Still I hope
I believe
In the sounds of footsteps.
