Every Person Is A Piece Of Gold. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore
Every Person Is A Piece Of Gold.
Every person is a piece of gold.
You are
A gold ring,
A gold watch
A gold chain
And you say:
I am a ring, a watch, a chain.
But don't you understand
These are only temporary shapes?
In truth, you are gold.
It is your essence.
Shape may change
But your essence does not.

I enjoy the structure of your poems- the two centered lines are like a traffic signal slowing the reader, preparing him for a change of course. I enjoy the context of your poetic message- you give your readers pause to think, to ponder. And I enjoy the words and images you use to get our minds focused not on the impermanent things but the eternal truths behind them...... and using a watch- great choice.+++++
True, reality perfect truth, we r unique but different, thanks poet

Love your descriptions of gold things, and how you transform your poem into a beautiful diatribe of what really matters in this life. All else is just temporary and/or materialistic, not having or adding any value to our souls. Wonderful testimony to our spirits, Tony, they are what make us to be a piece of gold. Truly great poem! 10++++ RoseAnn
