Shiny Thing


Once in the world was a shiny thing,
Bright as silver, bright as child’s eyes,
And those who saw thought they would always know
What it was that made things shine.

Years crept over, nights and days,
Each have separate whiles,
Some are stormy, some take fright,
Dust and ashes fall across the page.
Shiny thing…

Though that brightness may seem dulled,
Overgrown with rusts of age,
Shiny thing still shines within,
Like a lantern in a cage.

Years crept over, nights and days,
Each have separate whiles,
Some forget as some forgot,
Dust and ashes pile across the page.
Shiny thing… shiny thing
