Pandora's Box

 I decided to post this poem so you could learn a little something about how Pandora's Caja came to be. This is a Chayanne inspired poem that I wrote when I was going though a tough moment. I was listening to my favorite Chay song, we all know what that is about now right, and this is what came out....I really didn't know what what inside...it's funny how listening to music that is so inspiring can have an affect on you.... took Chayanne to bring it out...

Pandora’s Box

It was given to me…
It was given to me in the moment of my creation.
Beautiful…gilded…when I touched it…
It seemed to move beneath my fingers.
But it would not open… it would not yield
To my desire…my desire to know
Its secrets locked inside.

What it carried, I did not know.
.. ..
I wanted to see…
To know what secrets lay inside,
But I was afraid… afraid of what
I might find, of what I might see.

But the box would not yield its mysteries to me.
.. ..

But it was not the box that needed to yield….
It was me……in that moment, my spirit let go….
And the box opened….
.. ..

Out of the box
came all of my deepest fears….
my hurts….
my disappointments…..

They hovered above me
like the blackest cloud…
I had been betrayed
by the beauty of the box.

But I looked into the box
deeper still…
and there it was…
one
small
light….

I held it in my hand….
and it began to grow brighter
My fear became strength….
My hurt became hope…
And my disappointments
became my dreams.
