GOLD-NESS

Not the colour, stuff or mundane worth

but the frequency of it,

its sheer beauty and hue.

Silvery-gold luminosity 

- diaphanous flame

of purest lucency,

alive, incorruptible, a’shimmer.

The heart of starry furnaces,

alight, potent as the Holy Grail

 - apotheosis: the ultimate emergence

    into alchemical unison with All That Is.
