Singing Otter

This is something I came up with the other day.... not quite finished... or maybe it is.

*******

He chases rainbows, not realizing that it's nothing more than a mini oil slick skimming an asphalted rain.

He reaches towards glistening gold when in reality it's nothing more than pyrite aka fools gold.

He abandoned a piece of black coal not realizing that beneath the exterior lay an expansive diamond.

You can replace me with someone like me, but they'll never BE me. You can have your Princess. I am but a simple Queen.

So when the magic fades and you touch down to Earth. Remember what you let go... and remember what it's worth.

I don't know if you needed the AKA part. If someone doesn't know what pyrite is, they should take it upon themselves to find out what it is. One doesn't always have to spoon feed people. Course I just used it, but mine is a bit more obscure.

This piece is after my own heart. And I feel the confidence emanating from a deep cache` of power within you. I love the false rainbow metaphor you opened up with. Alluding that the one's he's chasing are but a mockery of your true brilliance. Humble in wisdom you are.
