Keepsake box
of intricate design
made from rosewood
with lacquered sides
patterns that seem
to have no start
well oiled lid
held with brass hinges
opens under pressure
of thumb and finger
and reveals
a prism of light
from inside
of greens and blues
jungle animals
and ocean wilds
trees older than
any human alive
people that walk
the worlds lands
and one of them
pauses for a moment
and looks up to the sky
a feeling of being
watched
by someone
so high
I like the idea of the spiritual physicality of a metaphysical world both inside and outside of a keepsake box, which opens to show wonders of our world and yet those wonders in their own time feel watched over and wonder about the sky...
