Golden City

By Draestar

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

A golden city awaits meFar along the pathIt’s up ahead somewhereI can see it in my headIt’s tallest towersReaching toward the sunTheir golden domesShining in the skyBeacons of what lay aheadDeep within the cityMade with walls of redLays the peace I seekA slumber for all timeIt shall be the first place I goAnd the last thing I’ll seeDeep within that golden cityI’ll rest my weary headAnd ignore the shinning cityTo which I’d traveled farI’ll pass the wealthy merchantsIgnore their fancy pleasPass the ones of GodWorshiping on their kneesPass the many treasuresShimmering like the starsPass by all that’s goldenAnd die beneath the stars Written October 15th, 2001 © on Oct 15 2001 04:51 AM PST   0 • 10
