The Chest Of Mystery

I am a mystery, a vessel of delight,
A fragile wonder, soft and shining white.
Encased in shell—a fortress carved with grace,
A gem that holds life’s promise in embrace.

Inside, a universe unknown, I keep,
A silent dance of secrets buried deep.
Guarding the seed, a precious spark I hide,
In stillness, dreams of life begin to bide.

Though delicate, my walls stand firm and strong,
A sanctuary where the mysteries belong.
No lid reveals what wonders lie concealed,
The music of creation yet unsealed.

The sun’s bright heart, a golden ember true,
An emblem of the love that lives anew.
Infused with warmth, its rays ignite my core,
To drive away the darkness evermore.

Oh, let me dwell in this serene repose,
With sun’s bright heart—boundless light bestows.
A symbol born of hope, a sacred grace,
That radiates from within this gentle space.

In marble chest, a treasure waits to find
A world unbound, a joy yet undefined.
A vessel of life, of potential pure,
The spark of dreams, untouched and demure.

Here let me linger, let me hold this seed,
In tranquil peace, to serve all life’s deep need.
For I am marvel, mystery and light—
A cradle for creation’s sacred rite.
