In my mind hides a chest—old, plain, and blank. A withered lock for a forgotten key lingers on it; A single light casts down upon it, A silent, phantom field cloaks it. You ask, "Oh, what fine treasure would I keep in such a chest?" Well, I would gladly show you, If only I had not locked away the key.

lost key
In my mind hides a chest—old, plain, and blank. A withered lock for a forgotten key lingers on it; A single light casts down upon it, A silent, phantom field cloaks it. You ask, "Oh, what fine treasure would I keep in such a chest?" Well, I would gladly show you, If only I had not locked away the key.
