GOLDEN EQUITIES

 

Could live it out whole again

Full of every nuance love provides

When you wake and she is there

And that, young or old, or in between

Is it, in fact, so dream

Pursue the implausible

Capture the idea of indelible

As there she is waiting and you, looking

And then what happens is so unique

It blisters the pages

It makes fraudulent all other claims

To insight, epiphany or not

            Such that this cycle does not conclude.

            It is not an end or starting point.

            We are mid-way across the Pacific

            It is vast, immense, indecipherable

            Until an island emerges.

            Must be a mountain immense

            To erupt in the middle of the ocean

            Saying “land here”

            And we do

One American, one Asian

Remarkable Eurasian child

Born on a dream

While the parents played out a mystery.

Who will they be?

            Another whirl of the roulette table

            Another color, another number

            But it all adds up the same

            The house wins

            Beauty is brief

            And golden equities are bequeathed
