A Gold Filigree Chest
A walled in pond with trees draped with moss
brighten by a warm predawn glow
Two sisters sit on a small stone clearing
keeping secrets of their own
that can never be lost
A gleam of awe on their lovely faces
an open gold filigree chest they hold
Lustrous pearls once worn by their grandmother
they hold dear ,treasured and old they’ve been told
Believing in dreams
their destiny might bring forth
and the magic of
the bond between sisters love
that can by no means be lost
