Boxes

 Boxes

 

I filled a box

With treasured items;

Keepsakes of a

Special times

 

Some filled with

Books from the

Impactful class

Taught by the

Brilliant professor

 

Taped shut

And shipped

From one side

Of the country

To the other

 

Special book rate

From the Post Office

To encourage the

Transportation of

Knowledge

 

From my basement

To a storage unit

Treasures and insights

Long forgotten

 

Baggage, a sea anchor

Holding me back from

Living in the present

Moment

 

Boxes that may

As well have been empty

Filled only with long

Forgotten memories
