Boxes needed for things at are me, that are mine Things are dwindling as I begin to find What is truly important Piled on shelves, stacked upon themselves I don't need to hold onto as much as I used to I just hold closer to you, my Love I used to cling to the presence of wealth Cluttered with what I thought was beauty When beauty was scarce and fleeting I revered these truly and they filled me And filled I have become, now undone I can let them go, now I know That love is my beauty, dear one My childhood fancies remain My heart contains them Not my domain

Boxes; my childhood fancies
Boxes needed for things at are me, that are mine Things are dwindling as I begin to find What is truly important Piled on shelves, stacked upon themselves I don't need to hold onto as much as I used to I just hold closer to you, my Love I used to cling to the presence of wealth Cluttered with what I thought was beauty When beauty was scarce and fleeting I revered these truly and they filled me And filled I have become, now undone I can let them go, now I know That love is my beauty, dear one My childhood fancies remain My heart contains them Not my domain
