Gold & gold & gold & gold
like the fire of the trees in fall,
the brilliance of the morning sun
claiming the lake waters
before the world speaks
Like the warmth of fireplace flames
welcoming me like family
A dance of light
reminiscent of a night prior
as spirits celebrated
unleashed together
the gladness of moments
Gold & gold & gold & gold
Like the hands
that stitched a soft blanket
covering me
in years of knowing
The circle of time forthcoming
tells me an uplifting
is just around the bend.
At rest is the joy
that riots the new day
The quiet is gold
the joy golden.
A full day will ride in
between my breaths
and laughter
beating away wasted time.
Gold & gold & gold & gold
I see it
It falls on me
when I let it.
So simple in the daybreak
before a single bird sings,
swelling then
into full chorus.
