Following gold
I left my home for a new story,
my heart heavy with questions.
What is chance and what is fate? What fortune
lies in rivers in slumbering wait?
No map brought me here – just tales
gilded in promises. I am
a rival among strangers, determined to turn
the earth inside out until my luck has changed.
I follow gold. Sometimes I am lucky
and meet its gaze and hold it close.
I am looking for a future, for my own
share of the light. The river offers few clues.
This is how you learn to walk alone.
This is how you write your story.
