The Secret

Kurt Philip Behm

The box

or its contents

depends

on the view

 

The fill

or the

vessel

their value to you

 

A pretty

enclosure

or bountiful

load

 

The secret

in knowing

the prince

— from the toad

    Loved this one Kurt the incorporation of perception with the help of a fairytale. Is not everything what we see it to be? A fave my friend

          A lovely reflection on appearance and substance. Sometimes the greatest treasures are hidden beneath the surface. I especially like your closing thought!
