The box

by Michael D Nalley   Jun 2, 2005


We live in more than one imaginary box
Each holding keys to imaginary locks
My mind confined to what it can see
My soul wandering around free

Some hearts trapped in one place
Longing to love in an open space
Truth is the only key to peace
Where all the arguing will cease

We can measure our time with clocks
Can we measure the space in our box?
Does our universe have a border?
Where chaos is combined with order

Combinations known
To our God alone
The earth it will not rest
Until it passes the test

Is there a perfect place?
Outside our little space
Where we all love and care
And hatred is not there?

    lol, Tabitha...what is wrong with you? You only have a hatred it for it because you fail to understand it muh dear. Michael is a very talented writer and your level of respect has been shot obviously......
    i mean, heres your poem...
    I see you walk down the hall with the rest of your group
    I lose my breathe thought we are friends there is something
    More there I can feel it but i cant tell you and I don't know
    Why. If I could have one wish it would be we could be
    Together forever*********

    Thou shall rest the case.

    Michael, keep on writing!
