A Chest of Echoes

i keep a small wooden chest beneath my bed its corners worn smooth from the weight it has fed inside are echoes of love and bittersweet dreams memories collected in faded moonbeams now it’s valentine’s and i slide it into the light to sift through fragments of warmth and quiet night they hum with a softness, a comfort long past a fleeting reminder that some loves can last

Aw, the title hooked me from the start, I read it different ways...light's in the heart of it. Beautiful.

I love that you read it in different ways, Paige--that’s exactly what I hope for when I title a piece. Your insight about the light at its heart really moved me. Thank you for reading so openly.
