My Soul's Casket

Like the rock

That keeps the fossil

I kept you.

Like the shell

That hides the pearl

I hid you.

Like the sand

That soaks the rain

I soaked you.

Like the flower

That hearts the pollen

I heart you.

Like the sky

That retains the galaxy

I retained you.

Like the spring

That stores the bloom

I stored you.

Like the cloud

That holds the rain

I held you.

Like the first dew

That love the petal

I loved you.

Deep within 

Soul's casket

I hoarded you.

My treasure

My hidden love

I preserved you.
