PANNING FOR GOLD

 

Sifting, sifting

 

Listening, listening

 

baffled and hoping that we’ll be

 

Friends in the end;

 

Watching, watching;

 

Looking for what glistens.

 

As I contemplate on those who may shine.

 

Nuggets of truth surface sublime,

 

Who will stand the test of time?

 

Yet time has already shown its hand.

 

And only fool’s gold left in my pan.

 

Sifting, sifting, praying

 

That your sincerity would shine,

 

leaving no doubt.

 

Not wanting to let you go

 

but the proof proves…

 

” that you’re petty” now

 

I'm saddened because…

 

‘’You didn’t pan out’’
