This Old Box

Cracking cedar
bound with tarnished
metal
bands
worn with time
and soft caress
by loving hands

This old box
is my reward

This old box
is a storied horde

Inside
in careless stacks
reside
the currency of life

Memory.

Each jewel
of precious pain
embedded in a
golden chain
of hope
seem contained
in...

this old box.
