Worldly Plethora
An Envelope Quintet
Scintillating beams to me enthrall
Wealth before my eyes
A cornucopia beyond count
Banquet of treasure past the skies
Yet, why an empty hall?
~
Tears glimmered beneath the glow
This worldly plethora— a mere disguise
For true bliss sums no amount
And riches are but lies
This, my friends, you must know.

“For true bliss sums no amount
And riches are but lies”

Thank you, dear. I find this really true and at times when my evils try to break free, I try to remind me of this one. Sweet dreams, Rosema. ❤

Reminds us wealth isn’t all it seems. Not to mention, I’m picturing a scene from a movie where sitting around the table has caused all men to fall asleep or die. Maybe out of one of CS Lewis’ continuation on the Narnia books? Maybe something else entirely. Well done Maria.

Thank you, Mandi. Maybe I I haven’t seen that one… But I saw a scene like that from Mindhunters (minus the grand chandelier). 🙂
