Discarded Gold Alchemy

Plastic bag pixie
sealed with her four leaf clover 
was thrown out like trash;
Bubbling magic 
left to die in a junk pile;

Shimmers were fading 
on cardboard like rainbow oil
as a boy walked by;
Luckily he saw treasure 
amidst the grime and pyrite;

Rainbows reflected 
fascination on the street;
Picked up a sparkle; 
Discarded gold alchemy,
much more than a speck of light.
