Alabaster Box

Purposely white

Seemingly translucent

You are small in shape

But your significance is plenty

I’ve lent you to be borrowed

And I am ashamed to have

For you are a piece of me

An offering to be had

So I will ask for your forgiveness

As I will only entrust to one set of hands

Your fragrances should break

And its aroma will be received to only His plans

I Wonder

I wonder sometimes as to what you may look like

If you are tall, short, thick or thin

Could you be what turns my head

Or will you be a pleasant surprise that originally never summoned a second glance

Maybe I’ve already met you

Or maybe we are years from you placing your eyes on mine

My hope is that it won’t be too much longer

As my curious, imaginative desires cannot endure much more time
