Quatrain of Gold Bullion - 1057

Quatrain of Gold Bullion

Bullion - considered in quantity
and not price

1.
Gold, earth's exalted treasure,
spinning atoms
with such
infusion,

Eternity, counting time as
though gold was
lost in the
confusion.

Gleaming with special value
intrinsic and smelling
of God's
rapture,

Noble and befitting our lives
be measured by
the gold we
capture.

2.
Value to men, sculpted over
time, elusive,
yet of no
question,

No other mineral guarantees
to instill an
hallucinating
infection.

The touch of its surface,
the purity of its soul,
its limited
dispersal,

Begs the standard by which
work is measured,
and it is
universal.
