What does that bird think of me?
...I wonder what that sparrow thinks of me,
As it flits so easily from branch to branch on tree,

:: Box of Treasures ::

The beautiful box of treasures
Ornately carved
Warm, yet well worn

of alabaster and aquamarine,

A Shout Into the Void

At the edge of the abyss
And stared deep into its void
Letting its gloomy silence
Fill up the empty shell
