Unlike the rusting artefact,
returning unto earth,
the golden bust will long attract
an interest in its worth.
.
With the likeness of divinity,
we revere its golden crust.
In museums of antiquity,
it shall not gather dust.
.
With its luminated lustre
with its elevated poise,
it has the strength to master
that which atrophy destroys.
.
The light is cast with a golden ray,
it shines in those who seek the way.

A first impression has a lasting effect - it makes a notable difference. In a subtle way that’s who I am as a poet. A ‘first impression’ looking for the gentle ‘twist’ that draws attention to a novel observation.
