The Music Box – A Poem
The Music Box

THE MUSIC BOX
We are organic creatures.
Not permanent at all.
Our conditions are not stable.
The writing’s on the wall.
.
And still, we take for granted
The time we have on Earth.
So much of it is wasted
Since the moment of our birth.
.
The music box inside you
Plays a weary song.
So turn the key and wind it up,
For life is not that long.
Sarah Griffin
This is lovely and a great reminder that life is so short. Love the music box analogy. The line about us not being permanent really made me think.
