Pandora's Box
The Pandora Key
by Amy I. Ramdass
An unopened secret envelops all of thee
In my heart, I carry the key
To treasures old and truths untold
Minds of Gold and Hearts Twofold
To Sparkling Spring by Freedom Wings
and Pain and Joy and beastly things
All encapsulated within this tale
All imprisoned inside this box
Once upon a time unlocked
But all were not revealed
Truth still cowers in her socks
Hiding behind Hope's veil
Dare I open it once again
Or should I bottle up the key
Would it bring woe and pain
Or would it set humanity free
If Truth needs my help to fly
Then, why am I so petrified
Will my plans go awry
Am I ready for what's inside
If I could, I would
Seal the lid and shut the sky
One cannot free Good
Without Evil escaping by
So out of compassion for thee
I killed off Curiosity
Then secured all the locks
And toss away the only key
To Pandora's Forbidden Box

…killed it off, or just delayed gratification?–even without the key, we are always opening that box (or at least, prying, prying….)
continued inspiration, dear one,

Oh my. Good question, Ceej. I will have to choose “delayed gratification” since nothing in this universe could be really killed off completely. Changing of forms perhaps…but…
and lol…yep….Agree…. we are…always prying…
Lots of love and thanks for your lovely comment…
How interesting that this went very much into my fear!
I love your poetry Amy! You really are very talented. From my layman's opinion.
very nice.
I so feel ya on the sentiments there sista.
I think what comforts me (most of the time, as you know!! hahaha), is to consider simple going slow but steady and careful and all will be OK. there's a trust with the universe OR a relationship with the universe that you and I must develop. correct? The next step. Being far more connected to source I suppose. Maybe I'm just speaking for myself in all this, an that's OK.
your poem just hits me right there.
And come check my blog out K! added some new stuff after the purging.
thanks for the wonderful poem amy

Hey Clyde. Ah. You found my “fear” box. Lol.
Thanks for your lovely words. And so happy you understand my poetic rambles… Yep…I believe so too….”simple and steady and careful and all will be okay.”
Ah yes…this trust/relationship with the universe you speak of…I think so too. And I am sure we have already developed this relationship with the universe….by opening our minds and heart to let humanity in… through a certain understanding and acceptance…and yada yada :-))
Anyway…Cool. I will certainly check your blog out.
Amy :-)
