Treasures of the heart
loom within caves of discovery
Rich with immortal joys
that filter the spirit from
eternal decay
Elusive to managing magnets
of lust who swarm like bee's
over prideful pursuits laiden
with fools gold
ever searching yet unable to ascertain
solace within their hollow soul,
which echoe in silence
Author notes
Note to the author of this contest.
Tony, I am aware that you ask in your list of rules
that we not submit any dark or depressing writes.
My intentions in this poem was to point out
that the value of life and living is more than
pursuits for riches and power.
I hope you find my entry acceptable as
it was written soley by inspiration alone.
Thank you.
