October 11, 2015 - A Canopy of Gold

A CANOPY OF GOLD
 
A canopy of gold
all the wealth of Nature
given away freely
as if it were nothing.
Storerooms full of gold.
Caves and caches
hidden treasure
secret pirate chests
full of gold
gleaming in the low sun
as if it were nothing
as if gold were dirt.
Beautiful but useless.
What need does she have for riches?

A canopy of gold, of untold wealth, there for the taking.
