Upon the purse’s seam
there is that silver dream
We long to forever hold
taken from a desirous mold
Placed in our ready hands
fine like momentous crystal sands
How we sift it though
is all in how the winds blow
The day, if ever it comes
would we willingly succumb?

This piece is short, but it is so open in it's wording that the reader can gain a lot from it, on reading and re-reading different thoughts and emotions occur.
Good write.
