| Lessons From A Box By Annie Nybo The box is perfect Made by human hands Yet there is no sign of them Except for the loving care that went into the delicate features Every brush stroke of emerald paint Every slender silver nail that rests in the wood Even the key, beautifully created to fit only this lock It is a symbol of perfection, An untainted creation in a tainted world. But like all “perfect” things, Imperfections soon surface. The right corner was broken off Replaced with glue, Nothing shows but a crack, A thin hairline fracture that separates the box From ancient glory it used to possess. The paint is no longer lustrous- Only some places reflect the emerald of the past. The box hid secrets in its days of splendor, Now the rusted key sits inside the behemoth’s belly Rattling as it snores through its life, condemned to sit on a shelf. A once perfect box Now never can be Reminds us now of our human fragility A simple hairline fracture – not hard to disguise Bur the gap widens steadily, Separating us from life. The paint chips away But some is left behind Distant reminders of a path long forsaken. The key to life is hidden Buried beneath rules and “truths” That clouds the mind and confuses the soul. And so my friends, Take a lesson from a box The fracture is necessary Without a river there is no bridge Find the bridge and cross it – to life! |
