My Mysterious Souvenir

An oval of mystery, memories and joy
sits peacefully on the table.
Even though you can't see a dent,
it feels as old as time.
With gems like little drops of dew,
never a dull moment
when it's sitting silently
in the middle of the room.
It looks like a toy.
It feels like a spoon.
It sounds like whispers saying
‘Put me down! Put me down!’
It pulls you over
with it's mysteriously attractive ways
with sounds that make you think it's cursed
you'd wonder why it's special
WelI, I have my reasons
While you have your doubts
but don't worry one day you'll find out.
