"slumbers"


from the ABC set ∙∙∙∙∙∙shadow upon the soul

carefully unpin the jewel
and place it in the wooden box
as `tis no longer the season
as now is the time for light;
whilst the jewel slumbers
in darkness
awaiting the release
from the wooden box
into the fingers of one
that will awaken its wonders~
