Bonanza

Where is the prize that the fables devise?

Does it live at the end of the rainbow?

Unveil the lies of the subtle disguise

Til the truth is abundantly clear.

 

Stalking the obvious, sleuthing the sleuth

In a frenzied and fanciful quest.

Shedding the truth of an innocent youth

Brings a lesson too heavy to bear.

 

If there is gold in her treasures untold

Then the wait will be worth all the pain.

Barter is cold for the soul bought and sold,

So be careful the mantle you wear.

 

Bonanza is real. It’s a feeling you steal,

Euphoria beyond all measures.

Broker your deal as you plaintively kneel

At the feet of the keeper of treasures.
