To My New Filing Cabinet...

You only cost $5 on TradeMe.

And though it appears I rescued you from certain destruction,
I don’t know how you feel about your new GL digs.

It sure is a long way from Parnell.

I’ll let you in on a little secret
Since it looks like we’ll be working together for awhile now:

You are my last and only hope.

Maybe it’s too soon for such confessions.
After all, we’ve only just met.

But what you are to me,
is the best of everything that has been
and may be.

Keeper of my dreams,
guardian of my secrets,
a window to The Good Life
just
beyond
my fingertips…

Late nights and full moons
forgotten dreams and the rustle of
buried regrets
nestled amongst
precious seedlings of possibility
waiting for the faith to breathe them into life.

Just you and me, Filing Cabinet
against the world.
