It is pandora's box
stashed away

where dust bunnies climb
on each other's backs
in search
of the garden

promised to her
so long ago
that now sits imprisoned
in the dark

the soft wood
worn by the scratching
sorely in need
of a carpenter's skill

or at least
a clever locksmith
who understands
there is no key

when so many needs bite the dust
by not asking for enough.

These lines kind of punched me in the face, like 50 times... I loved them...

Mesmerizing ... felt like being a dust particle emprisoned in the dark which, upon the opening of a window, suddenly dances in sunlight.

Enlightening conclusion, dear Indigo!

Love,

Kaoru-

What a fabulous review! Those were my favorite lines also... in fact I started with the last two lines and worked out the poem from there.

Margherita-

I loved your interpretation! Thanks for dancing in the sunlight.

DS-

Anything worth having is hard to put a price on... Enjoyed your eyes.
