Locked Within

Sound of sea is locked within seashell beached Just lift a shell to your ear to hear sea sigh. Morn is locked within dawns red sky horizon Like flower bud bursts into daybreak. Sap and sinew of living tree trunk Is locking within its wood when cut and dried. Knitters love and enterprise is purled into garments Finger strokes coiled and entwined, locked within. Photos frozen, snap shots, shuttered images frozen Have memories locked within, auras that come to life when images viewed. Locked within a diamond is flash of light and sparkles bright Like a star it twinkles its light and shimmers at night. Locked within a pebble on bed of stream are the clunks and thuds That have ground it smooth during its passage downstream. Locked within love locks padlocked to bridge Is the hope that love locked up, cannot escape and flee. For nothing is completely new since the big bang exploded All things solid and spiritual have their birth and legacy locked within. The threads of time's passage coiled and entwined Locked within all matter until the end of time. Everything has some within in tidbits locked inside 'Tis the within of things in lockets.
