Together
We are gold, you and I
Ejected out of a blast from the rays of the sun
finding each other, hurtling through the atmosphere into a flood of cool
I hold our core
You give our shine
We are timeless
A magnificent nugget
We become stronger
Seemingly solid
But then, as we merge into yet another layer of color, you break off to shine of a trivial though momentous currency
With no shine, I diminish and soften
Like some Gypsum Alabaster
I am trapped in this weakened rock
Avoiding the shatter of the reckless and greedy heart
A once solid stone, now void of color
Our core is petrified
Worth, devalued
I become invisible
Our bond anonymous to the elements around us
As though we never happened
As though gold has nothing beyond it's shine
And the ecstasy of gold, is lost
To the hands of those who know nothing of fortune, only greed
...and to your need
to shine without me.
Your first sci-fi piece and its a poem! Blows me away man. Excellent work.
