There is a truth I keep locked away In a box of polished stone Its edges gilded in glowing gold I’ve locked this box With a silver key Forged of the finest ore And worked in a most delicate filigree This key is hidden From searching eyes Swallowed by my mouth And coming to rest . . . In the deepest reaches of my heart Deeper than flesh Farther than bone The key is lost To this box of stone This beautiful box Holding this truth most dear Is set upon an upper ledge Behind the average thought and the daily wear And there it shall remain Closeted and most secure So only I shall ever know The truth of the truth that is hidden there Safe from the deepest reaches of my heart Deeper than flesh Farther than bone The key is lost To this box of stone S.A.T. The whole of the Universe resides within each individual heart. |

S.A.Toulme, Though it is a secret, it is precious in the telling. A tender write. A lovely read. Peace.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

I think we all have boxes... You wrote of it very well and I enjoyed it.  "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |
