The Three Keys

The Three Keys Y’know, the one we placed under a rock just for an emergency hidden away to protect us from our own insecurity, Yah, that one! Well, she found it. Then, one day, when she felt all was in readiness she opened the door to my heart. Y’know, the one we place way up high over the door jamb just to the left of center, Yah, that one!! Well they found it. Tried to figure out how best to use it. Kept their secret to themselves not knowing they held the key to my life. Y’know, the one we only thought existed in dreams of unimaginable circumstances, Yah, that one! They uncovered it, dug it from the ashes of sleepless nights, protected it, held it, hugged it smooth, restored the glow of its meaning, the truth of its existence. Returned to me the key to my soul. 7/6/2016 submitted to – Any Poem Written in July 2016 – Poetry Contest sponsor – Laura Loo
