Golden

 The palace of Midas was awe-inspiring,

The light dancing about, bouncing and reflecting

As warmth emanated from its twinkling source-

A celebratory reflection

 

Like a drop of sunlight fallen to earth

Catching the eye of a beholder,

It entices and invites, fastening to the mind’s eye.

 

Onlookers, beware of the allurement of the drop of sun

For as Midas discovered

The metal of the sun can burn

A contrast to the ordinary and mundane

The reflecting light is reminiscent of

The welcoming warmth of waking hours

The ring placed on the finger of a beaming new bride

The majestic crown upon the head of a king

The glinting medal of a champion

The dancing light celebrates
