The Touch of Gold
















Gold is an art form
used to reveal one's
wealth or station

designed as a necklace
or other decoration

stones glimmer
with divine illumination

presented as a token of love
brings depth to infatuation

jewels release
energy for veneration

offered as an act of contrition
reminds her of the pain
with renewed determination

taken by thieves
without hesitation

becomes a passport
and a new a destination

the touch of gold
holds promises
for another generation.
