My Royal Treasure

Dusty box
Like a royal palace on a hill,
Imposing yet part of the vast habitat
It reigns the place it stands
The lingering smells of her floral perfume,
Forever recalled, lacing the contents inside

A pearl of wisdom
Resting within is ocean’s gift twice handed down
Its glossiness carved lovingly by a faceless creature
Harvested from life’s beginnings,
Drawn from the deep blue depths by divers battling with nature’s force,
Now lives confined inside a box,
That forever acts as a companion to me.
