Unveil me,
for I lie hidden
upon the banks of tomorrow

~A nugget of Hope~

Dropped in turbid waters
when love was lost,
as a wounded heart
sought naught
but to mend itself,
to stitch together
golden threads of touch
that might yet bind
two hearts into one.

But golden threads,
much like nuggets,
even as they shimmer
are elusive at best
when the eyes are overflowing
in rivers of sorrow,
spilling love's thoughts,
carrying dreams downstream.

Rest for a moment, re-focus.
A nugget may yet lie in wait,
beyond the rapids.
