Beyond the Fickle Trinkets of Silver
Beyond the Fickle trinkets of Silver
and the dead pendants of gold
there must be...
something
somewhere
somehow
a feeling less gaudy
yet far more tangible to embrace and to hold
when all the cold steel turns to nothing
and when all the cut-glass gets chipped and old
there must be
here
there
anywhere
an emotion so timeless
and peaceful to behold
and so...
when the wrinkles coil and curl
as the lines of age slowly begin to unfurl
will the trinkets and pendants of silver and gold
console
what resides in a hurt soul
or will we only then realise
that all the silver and gold
do not make us
ever
whole.
