Treasure

There’s a treasure 
A collection of moments there. 
Precious metals forged
Emeralds, diamonds, sapphires 
Jewelry etched with inscription 
Held in a most delicate case
The smooth lid hinges bolted 
A most presentable exterior 
Cache heavy and when shaken 
Music rustling inside 
With room for an orchestra 
Guarded like Pandora
Amongst the bounty a dagger lies
Outnumbered under a pile of golden coins
The weight of joy, knowledge and true love
To bury the rusting blade
and drown the festering scar
Open your chest
Bathe in the richest of moments 
The space half full
Find the key
Ounces more in pearls I can give
Like patter drops of rain singing to fill you
