~ The little Box 

 

Where did I find you my little box?

Let me remember, within the travel of my mind,

You took me away with you that night

In the decades of time alone and left behind

 

Your doors opened into a beautiful garden

Angels, and Elves danced with harps in their hands

Their humming peaceful sounds were a path to follow

The stones, as a road to lead and be one with the lands

 

The soft little music was leading me,

And the birds of love flew upon there

The world was much kinder, and less selfish

A voyage of peace, musing elegant, and rare

 

I left my high heels, and started to run barefoot

The fresh moss tickled my feet

The wind blew softly and fluent

A castle in my sight, I knew I had "you" to meet

 

Kept on running harder and harder…

The leading music became so lovely the closer I was,

You were singing to me, out of the box

As I was following the sound of your silent vox

 

I found you there, so tiny and alone

The little box, had made you live inside it’s heart,

You couldn’t talk, but sing, hum, and jump

Of happiness you were nevermore apart

 

Of the souls proprietor which found your second life

And brought it back to her world to stay

In the drawer of her bedside table,

For  you to sing her goodnight into each new day

Lieve schat, dank je wel voor je mooie woorden, leuk dat je van deze hebt genoten!! beetje fantasie kan geen kwaad zo nu en dan he? ;) Dank je wel, ik kom gauw terug voor jouw, ik ben bezig met een Nederlands gedicht, maar nogal perfectionistisch lol... je bent de eerste die het hoort, dank je wel nogmaals xxx

Very mythical and sweet, you have a power of narrative and you create scenes well. It's an unusual skill.

Thank you so much, for being here, :)

[icelandicblue]

This is haunting and beautiful. The music only adds to its beauty. There is a mysterious and ethereal quality to your imagery that leaves an imprint on the reader's mind.

Thank you dear one... :)

Yes, everyone has such a treasure chest, that takes them back to that fantasy world that they once enjoyed as a child. Here’s a tiny inspired gift poem which you may keep as your own:

Innocence

There’s a tiny box
filled with crystal rocks,
a child’s golden locks,
baby shoes, and socks

in a special place
that preserves a trace
of a former grace
that time can’t erase.

Thank you my friend, I always love your little gifts, they mean much to me. :)

[Aethereal]

You're welcome! I had the notion as I read your poem that you were trying to return to a more innocent time in your life. We all wish that at times, a storybook time, and Holland is a storybook place.

Thank you for reading my "comment section" I have posted there, why I'm so abcent.... Fortunally I live in between a rich forrest, and green nature, to relax, and hike on hectic days.... thank you for your support my friend... I shall not forget... (this was an older poem btw, rewritten, since two years ago) but I reposted it, for a zen moment... (to myself). Thank you dear.

The mysterious lady of the wood?

What a beautiful escape this lovely land of magical enchantment..all contained within this musical box, singing sweet songs of elegant rapture. This piece speaks to me on many levels...you transported me to a time and place where only smiles and nostalgia exists... this is why I wonder through your words...you have such a beautiful heart and voice that sends the reader directly into your creative mind. I adored this.. well done as always!

Thank you so much for your beautiful words, my sweet friend and gorgeous poetess... :) sigh, you humble the Eli ha ha... :) hope all is well, catch up soon! -x- :) thank you thank you.

I keep the elves, fairies and frogs waiting to be princesses in the backyard of my mind. They always wait for me when I need to visit. You have a magical box but I'm convinced our small friends are related. A delightful read, amiga. Tan bonita, como tu.

Thank you my friend, for your priceless review, I will come by soon! :) real friends, are in my heart... forever :) you are one of them!

The soft little music was leading me,

And the birds of love flew upon there

The world was much kinder, and less selfish

A voyage of peace, musing elegant, and rare
