claims dept. .........{bump?]
silently beating on a dusty shelf
lost alone and forgotten
yet shedding a warmth to all that pass
from its resting place deep with shadows
held in a torn and shabby box
closed by a dirty brown cord
beats a heart of golden glow
lighting the dark with its calm and silence
found it there tucked so far away
while conducting inventory late into one night
its tag all but worn off with the passing years
yet its claim voucher still intact
would that i could claim it for myself
but that's against all the rules and regulations
so it sits still on its dusty shelf
waiting for the one who can claim it
