All that glitters is not gold, but
The gold that glitters is desired more.
Gold, it has been said, "is the King's
ransom." but is it so?
Gold, more handsome and pure,
melted in the fiery cauldrons
becoming glorified coins, treasured.
Consider; however, gold spun by the
honey bee; perhaps containing more
wealth per gram than pure gold,
when counting the number of bees
collecting the nectar from God's flora.
Or, one must consider the gold in the
medals of athletes who compete and
measure the sweat and training the real
value of their coveted treasure.
Or, when bands of gold are heaven blest
to bind the tie of two souls entwined,
these precious symbols have no price.
Or, the gold dust that comes with
stardust dreams, the alchemist
hopes to mix vials so full,
so perchance, schemes will succeed.
And last but not least, the golden stairs,
we expect to ascend in peace-filled glory
when we come to the end of our journey.
