Treasure

A poem by Heather | 6/20/2007

(Now, I'm not a poet by any means. I can't rhyme words very well because I always seem to pick the wrong words to try to rhyme, and sometimes I dislike the structure of poems...however, there are times I just can't help but write one! I've no idea what you call this type of poem. Maybe free verse?)

All the treasure
In the earth
Gold and jewels

Nothing will last
At a touch
Crumble into dust

Gold turns dull
Silver will tarnish
Jewels to sand

All the treasure
On the earth
Green growing things

Nothing will last
Heat and wind
Wilt it away

Flower's perfume fades
Grass will wither
Streams can dry

All the treasure
In the sky
Last little longer

Glitter against black
Planets steadily shining
Stars sparkling, winking

Stars will fall
Planets can fade
Bare the blackness

Only one treasure
Hidden in heaven
Lasts forever, eternal

Eternal treasure hidden
In God's kingdom
Intangible, untouchable, precious

Precious beyond belief
Waiting for us
Immortal kingdom's people
