Old chest, your handle’s missing Where did it go? Is it locked away, or did in Anger explode? Or Was the chest absorbing the skips of a beat, When one came near Had it no alternative but retreat? In any case, what good can come of a chest with no handles to be opened by none? |

Intriguing write that got me to wondering and a pondering. Hmm, let me see. Well, perhaps if someone were to take the time to make a new handle for the chest, the chest might feel that love and grow another handle of its own ~ and a chest full of love, truly is a treasure!  Love & Light, EA |

Interesting...perhaps the chest is waiting for someone to view, that even without handles, the chest retains it's value. SMiles and hugs...good one! |

Ah, I love how your mind works and the interesting ideas it poses. Much enjoyed.  SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

passing shadows, thanks. You're a dear. miscellanea iliana, It does seem that way doesn't it? Who knows? Thanks for your comment, iliana. miscellanea Susan, You're much too kind and modest. It is I who should say that of your work. miscellanea Enchantress, Your written words radiate magic. Perhaps, it will open now.. Thanks, miscellanea Martie, To see, and to open are two different things. (I just had to play a devil's advocate!) Smilin' at ya, miscellanea Sunshine, Now that I re-read it, it could be what you said. You've got me!!! You're a hoot! Thank you, Sunshining! miscellanea |
