Gold comes in many forms

A chapter in the book Heart Cafted Poems - 2020

Not so ordinary Gold

by JLR

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.
