The Light is on in the Little Room

The lights are on in the little room
Telling a story of a life unseen
Mouths move in tales untold
Laughter seen but never heard
Except,
When the lights are on in the little room

The lights through the glass are like the smell of a book
Drawing you in as it comes,
And goes
Dinners for two in a small well lit room
Bring a warmth to my heart as I slowly pass by
The light is on in the little room

The warm yellow glow is a welcoming sight
When the world is swallowed by the depths of the night
And as I move through I smile and think
What a magical thing
To see the lights turn on in the little room
