The Magic Box


Hidden in plain sight,
Beside the crystal ball,
Beneath the candle’s light,
Protected by the wall,
Dwarfed by the books,
Not far from the stopped clock,
Next to an old coin
Which operates its lock,
Lies a magic object
Scarred by many knocks,
That holds a million mysteries
Entombed within a box

      Thanks, Sue. When I noticed the box wasn’t as clear as it could have been, my mind wandered a little! 😀
      Happy Halloween to you too!

      Hey, Cheryl! Good to see you too!
      I’ve been kind of in and out of blogging these past few months, but I think I may be claiming some blogging time back now. We shall see, of course! 😀
