The Box

Embedded image from another site

Dancing into the light
Twirling as I think
Why am I here tonight
Staring at this box
Black on pink
Doing what I should not
Bartering with unusual thought
Contemplating a position
That blooms anew
In transition
Just as coming change
Rearranges the norm
Wears a new form
Bound in non conforming
Like essences transforming
That’s why I won’t give any thoughts
When I don’t recognize myself
Who am I anyway
Stuck in this box
A lost journeying soul on
Seas of green or blue
Searching for the perfect you
Who cares about the new rage
Turn that boring page
Nothing else remains
Just days of crazy refrains
Nothing to lose or gain
So why not
Thicken the obtuse plot
Open the box now
Do what you should not
Show us how
Pour out potions of change
And go for the glory
Retell the story
About the box
Be the change we see
The non-conformists
Running through delightful mists
No one keeping check lists
Free and undone
Revealing a mystery shown
Held in the moon, sun and stars
This is who we are
Seek the hidden secrets
And you will find they
all abide outside
The box

Jade,
your Poem is really good, but are you sure we can talk about one box only.
I feel that there are so many different Boxes in my self, from where I should come out and how ever much freedom I give to my self and how much ever I try to open my Eyes vide open, there are still part of me, that can not see enough clearly.
Yes, and then we have that Pandoras box too?????

Rolf, one thing lay at the bottom of Pandora's Box, which was a "jar". It was the Spirit of Hope. I am only writing about thinking and being outside of what this world calls "normal" or "conformity". As a non-conformist, that is the box I refer. Thank you for your comments! Jade purple heart

Such a profound type of write dear I'm not sure how to comment to do it justice.
You are quite decidedly a thinker-poet dear. Meanwhile, I hope Santa leaves
something nice for you in that black box.
