Box

there is a box

beside me

(is beside me yet

does not contain me!)

many have tried

failed, tried again

(do they not diminish

as they diminish me?)

to put me inside

close and tape the lid

(it stands empty yet

will not contain me!)

I am too vast to box

I am formed of Earth

stars dance my eyes

I am a child of The God

I outweigh all creation

the box is not made

that can contain me
