Golden Box

a divine dimension

Golden Box

“There shall be a golden box floating slightly above the ground. 

Wait and see.”

Upon a wait and a see

came the Golden Box 

that lived inside of me

it was a mystery

it claimed divine

as part of a universe

it was here to rearrange time

it asked a man

a brilliant man

to bring the imaginary friend

to early man

it picked neolithic

some 10,000 years b.c.

and told the boy

of his imagined friend

far as the eye could see

boys and imagined friends

played with the likes of me

here was his vision

here was his chance

here was early man learning

about a potential inside of them

the boy ran home to father’s side

ask if they could bring the dogs inside

before long the dogs were near

and gave the hunt for food

a splendid ear.

Great read! I think he mentioned the loss of hair as significant.
A generational phenomenon where the young have more imagination subsequently see things in a different light. Thanks FT!

that which is inside all of us... there to discover with the help of imaginary friends and the divine seeds sewn in our DNA - that thirst to know and to understand... as I read your last stanza, I was reminded of Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond in which he attributes the domestication of animals as one of the key factor in the survival of our species... i am glad the boy in your story convinced his father to let the dogs in... well-done

Thanks Jacob! I had for some time wanted to make a short story out of it but never found the courage.

you are on such a roll tonight...this paints such a vivid picture of early man and the promise he showed as he searched for the mysteries of the universe...this universe...and those imaginary friends...we have all had them...and learned from them...never realizing we were learning from ourselves.
