Gold

I wanted to inspire,

I wanted to transform

 

I wished that all I touched

would turn

to gold

 

I wished

for every splinter

to become a hidden sword,

to cut away the chords

and heal my twisted heart

 

In the midst of darkness,

within my aching slumbers,

I woke up

to a dream,

I touched a ray of glory

 

My spirit showed me then

I am what I need

to be

 

I saw

I have become

the things I

always wanted
