Our Box
  Think of a box,
  A box with trees
  And water and grass
  and birds and bees.
  Think of the water in the box,
  which flows to the end
  and then quickly recedes
  away from the grass and
  birds and bees.
  Think of the grass in the box,
  As high as it be.
  With no water,
  it will never know
  just how tall
  it can grow.
  Think of the birds in the box,
  which try to fly
  with no pond nearby
  and after falling
  they don't think
  that they can fly high without a drink.
  Think of the bees in the box.
  Without watery eyes,
  they cannot be told
  to drink their tears
  that made them
  gold.
  in this box
  as you see
  water does
  not flow freely,
  and without this creative wave of mind
  no living thing
  can stay alive.
  The grass cannot grow
  old and wise
  the birds cannot bear
  their free glide.
  And the bees cannot pride
  their fearful side.
Think in this box, and see
if in a box you would like to be.

 
Be creative! Escape our box.
