Rain Box

Maybe I can earn
The golden star, silver moon
To work on the ruby senses
Harbor no lost lies
Keeping no cynical shine
Opening rain box

Very thought provoking, Russell. I could see the "rain box" as tears or even as something similar to Pandora's box. Intriguing write! Wanted also to thank you for my place in your contest. I am a fisherwoman and determine when to fish by the moon's cycles. Love, Carolyn
