The Magic Box

I will put into my magic box all the colours of Joseph's coat,
The blackness of coal,
The red of the rowan berries and a dark brown nightingale.

I will put into my box,
The softness of a mole skin
The planets, stars and all the galaxies.

I will put into my box,
The shout of a teacher
The soothing sound of a tropical river
Several calls of seagulls
And the slipperiness of a fish.

My box will be fashioned from gold, silver and the hinges from gems.
Everybody will stop and look at my box with amazement
And admire all lovely encrusted gems
