Exuberance And Stuff
Imagine gold that
Flowed like
Velvet
Melted-down, satin
Smooth-drip
Tune
Strung sing-song
Tethered along
Fabric of a resonant
Heaven sent
Envelope with
Writing that
Is tattered for
The paper bent.
What do we wish for?
A diamond-plated door
Porcelain in accessory
Marble on the floor?
Does it matter when
The path we walk
Carved itself
In how grass grows?
Does the richness of our lives
Determine how wealth goes?
I must relent, that heaven-sent
envelope of hope
Contained paper, saying keys
Are contained within the soul
So to close the minds door
To the richness, when its vapid
Is to open one more door
That ensures the hearts purpose
Ensures the beat is rapid.
Keep the image, map it.
Write it on a napkin.
Realize the key is your gift
And open the gate of holy fashions.
