The Little Box

Julie Schepis

A little beaten box
hidden and locked.
Made of the finest wood
and shut with the strongest lock
stored carefully in a corner.

Within I placed my heart,
cold, shriveled and wounded,
it could take no more
abuse or neglect,
so I set it safely aside.

The ornate little box
caught my attention today
and I stopped to wonder,
should I unlock it and
remove my treasure?

To my displeasure
I could not find the courage.
The little beaten box
hidden and locked
remains there in solitude.
