I will put in the box
A baby language that makes sense
A silver wave crashing down on the shore over a sand castle
A 7th guitar string
I will put in the box
A flame of gold water
A White Sea crest on a summer night
A rose opening slowly in the squinting sunlight on a spring afternoon
I will put in the box
The past, the present, and the future
A first tear of a newborn baby
A first snowflake of winter in a 6th season
I will put in the box
A mother’s care and love
Adrenaline of a soccer player
A fear of a puffer fish
My box is fashioned from lava in the sea and silver and gold
With beautiful stars on the lid and amazons in the corners

I shall discover my box
Like Indiana Jones
With confidence and pride
