Gold Dust
©Ray Waugh, Jr.
Gold dust caused a rush.
Gold dust
caused some men to thrust a knife in their partner and friend.
Gold — Glory — Wealth.
America's is buried in the treasure vaults of Fort Knox.
Some "gold dust"
makes its way from the stream to the tooth.
Some "gold dust"
will make its way from the heart of the earth to the edge of the universe….
Some "gold dust"
sank to the bottom of the deep blue along with the bones of courageous sailors.
But, for me "gold dust"
bring memories of our Lord. Our Mercy Seat!
The very foundation of the end of all of man's searching —
. . . THE VERY ESSENCE OF GOD'S LOVE . . .
