Abundance

All that sparkles is gold

when it sparkles upon the dappled seas.

There is no greater wealth,

no greater fortune,

than the gold that

ferries upon

lapping waves.

Try as you will

to hoard human prizes.

I wish you well.

Eventually you might join me on this bench

by a rocky crag,

and finally see

the abundance that has

been left for us all.

There's no need to try to possess it.

It is here for us all to cherish.

Sparkling atop the sea,

from mountaintops,

inside sunsets,

glowing from

knowing moons,

in the eyes

of all who see.
