Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

Wealth

Gold as far
As the eye can see
In awe I stood
As the sun lit up
Everything around me

Instant heiress
Of a golden estate
With unimaginable
Gilded treasures

My heart overflowed
Then in a split second
The clouds rolled back
And took it all away
My riches and my heart
