A Gutters Bend

If I be but a gutters bend
And catching gold within it’s wend
Then I would let my color show
To dip a pan and find it so

I’d want this gold to show in sluice
The passing of a dowry’s use
A whisper in the wind of rhyme
To segment off a piece of time

A spirit’s offer in its yield
A patch of green within a field
A flower shining in the sun
A power broker one on one

I would the gutter and its grime
Ring a note the bells of time
O’er the tears and fears of man
To hang upon his ears in scran

By scran I mean the slang for food
For gold is but a symbols crude

it is indeed in our poorest of times, that we are so open to riches beyond our wildest imagination, if we'd only not fight it or fear, and allow the class to begin.

Love to you and Randy
Your poems are incredible...thank you

Every day [most every day] I am able to read your poems...I know I've missed one or two. Point being, I always come away either feeling good, validating a life's lesson, or knowing that you are one of the wiser men I have ever met, if only through words.
