Richard Walker

Endless

Around the corner,
behind the wall
At the end of the road,
and in the valley closed
 
Behind that door
The curtains drawn
The blinds are shut
There is no dawn
 
The forest deep
The water cold
The endless flow
The lonely creek
 
Something hidden
Something seeks
I fear to look
It is forbidden.
