In A Cardboard Box Arthur Henry Isaacson
In my basement dark and dusty
In a corner out of view
Is a cardboard tomb with pictures
Of a life that I once knew
Faces faded over time
Moments frozen still
Lives suspended ever quiet
Forgotten feelings stir, instill
Wedding Pictures growing children
A past with future killed
Another me was laid to rest
A box of living, not fulfilled
Why do I keep this alter ego?
In the dark upon a shelf
Never looking at the memories
Never in the past to delve
Perhaps someday I’ll understand
The meaning of before
Heal the rift of then and now
And the whole that is my core
Though time has brought to me much joy
Kept my ship from shoals and rocks
There is a part of me still trapped
Within that cardboard box
