Golden House
(This poem came to me in a dream about people wishing for golden houses and how
some would flourish but others were too heavy and fell down. There is a Father who rules this world and it is his wise words that I've turned into this poem)
If you ask for too much gold
Your heavy house crashes down
If you only ask for enough
A beautiful golden house you'll own
A house in danger of collapsing
Can still be saved within right timing
Take some away
and Give it away
Your world will be better for
Bridges built to cross to shore
Trees will grow
Their flowers will show
A beautiful precious world
Together will glow

I remmember chatting to you about this. I'm still fascinated at how this piece of writing came into being. It seems simple enough though - I interpret it as balancing greed with abundance. There's a nice bit of reference to charity in there as well. In a way, this is one of those pieces of writing that you kinda want to hang on your wall somewhere, because it's so simple yet beautiful. I love it.
One of my favorites! Why the poems stop though?!?
