One day I decided, “This is the day I will define love.”I heard it was endless. So I took this marker and drew a line, the longest line I’d ever drawn. Walking for days as this line trailed behind me, until one day I’d forgotten where I’d started. I finally looked to one side and then the other, and “I can go left, I can go right.” directions I’d never thought to travel. So to the right and back again, until I had drawn a square. A box with borders so broad, I couldn’t see.
Ahhh, this is love I thought as I laid down, but then, I looked up. A square on the ground, this will not do…So I drew walls until I had a cube. Extending up beyond where my sight could see.
But this marker was just black and the walls a vacant white…Why didn’t I think of using colour before. So some red here, yellow there, a bit of purple and green, and every combination under the sun, until at long last every side was colored…
That’s when I found the door, for inside this brightly colored cube was a great empty space begging for something to fill it, to make it complete. So I took everything of beauty, everything of value, everything lovely and tried to fill it to no avail. I spent a 100 life times inventing things that could be loved just to fill it up. The day came though and I finally shut the door behind my beautiful cube filled with treasures and leaned against it to rest. But that’s when it slid out from where I thought it would stay. “It can move?” I breathed in surprise and frustration. I pressed my hand against it and it glided to away at the touch. “It CAN move!”
So I traveled the world o’er with my cube, pushing it from one place to the next, not sure of where or why I was going, but just moving. For an age I walked, this most surely was it. “I have figured it out!” I thought, at least until the day came where my box ran into someone else’s…
