Curiosity’s Treasure

Dusty corners in a jumbled shop
specks of treasured history peeking out
where you lose yourself in the joy

An old clock on the shelf speaks to you,
with a tick, tick rhythm and a chime
Dusty corners in a jumbled shop

Sunlight streams through the windows,
as a jaunty knickknack doffs its hat
Specks of treasured history peeking out

Wandering through remnants of life
and every piece tells someone’s story,
where you lose yourself in the joy
