The heavy door is sealed and still,
safe from the cold and open air,
where shadows rest upon the sill
and quiet moments wait in pair.
A delicate and slender brass
glides smoothly through the hidden lock;
the tight constraints begin to pass,
unheeding of the silent clock.
No force is used to turn the frame,
nor jagged breath to break the seal
just aligned grooves that know the name
of every secret depth they feel.
For barriers do not yield to strength,
nor open to the loud and wild;
they soften through the quiet length
of gentle touch and movement mild.
