Behind Closed Doors
Dee-Dee Carter 1962 (Chicago)
What precious moments frozen in time
Intentions, notations, a child's nursery rhyme
Silent prayers, petitions, the secret diary
Lie motionless in a state of inquiry
What discoveries, new or old
Visions manifested, wonders to unfold
Hushed tones, giggles and sometimes tears
Reminiscing over the past, those solemn years
Hearing gentle footsteps someone has come to explore
The expectations and inspirations behind these closed doors...
