My latest *Art Garden* piece.
Oct. 30th, 2005 10:04 pmThe next Art Garden is November 26; the deadlines for submissions is the 16th. But as I will be busy with NaNoWriMo, I decided to send it in early.
The theme, this time around, is Drink.
THE TREASURE HUNTERS
We have searched long, and hard, for this.
At times, we were so close, we could almost smell it,
Before the trail led us away again.
Now, we have found it -- this treasure,
Half-hidden in this cool, shadowy, place.
See how it glints, silver and gold, in the broken light?
Hear the bright music it makes as it falls?
Take it up by the handful!
Rejoice!
Whatever the future holds,
In this moment, we want for nothing.
We have searched long and hard for this treasure.
And now, we have found it.
Bring it to your lips.
Have you ever tasted anything so sweet?
Bright, clear, running water.
We have it.
And we are rich.
