The Key Within Poem by David Taylor

The Key Within

Rating: 5.0


“Open the box with the key within”
So says the sign.
Oh what a conundrum.
I have waited for so long
to catch sight of this blessed parcel.
So mightily guarded by my history
until at last I find the source.
And with grace it is delivered
to my hearts door.
And then it says
“Handle with care”
“Only can be opened with the key within”.
Motionless I stand in despair.
And a light dawns
It is I that’s inside there.
