The Key

Who is it
who is it
that holds the key to my heart?
Locked away inside my mind
inside time
a faberge egg
chinese puzzle box
Rubik's cube
all in one
outside time
sands in the hourglass
slip away as water washes
away the solid of stone
a paper lantern
flame burned
high in the wind
scattering ashes
away
away
who is it
who is it
that I search for
searches for me
holds the key to my heart.
