Pleasantries exchanged
in brown paper packages,
hide nicely,
tied up with string.
Feelings housed in boxes
Stored neatly tucked away
for a rainy day.
Pandoraโs box opens snakes and ladders
showing their ugly head,
where turmoil courses
through hardened veins.
Moving…. slow as molasses,
and quicksand,
drowning in sorrow.
Quickly….. close the box!
Tie it with a beautiful bow
and put it back on the shelf
and smile hello.
Life is messy and fragile
Please pass
the chocolate.

And then there’s Ollie! Her new box is her playground. Next life, I’m coming back as her. I bought a water dish for her since she loves baths and water but she hasn’t touched it. Turns out this is the best bed she’s ever had so I can’t bare to return it. Happy Almost Valentine’s Day Ollie. ๐

life is like a box of chocolates,
Forrest Gump
you never know what you’re gonna get
