Midas Touch


One day Miracle happened;
I got the power of Midas touch;
I was celebrity overnight;
Huge crowd to see me;
They wanted me to touch their things;
So that take could have them in gold;
It was fun for sure;
I thought if people have enough gold;
They will become rich;
Soon this line of differentiation will disappear;
And everyone will be happy thereafter;
Nothing changed;
The still stood their straight;
I realized I could not touch their souls;
I could not give them a heart of gold;
=============================================================

This week the prompt over Sunday Scribbling#127 is "Miracle".
All I could think about was Midas Touch. Probably because of my
love for that childhood story.

'A heart of gold' sounds worthwhile, but I think I'd rather have a heart of marshmallow! Much softer!
