3 Gold Coins

3 Gold Coins

A night of insomnia
Enticed by boredom of the eternal sort
Never ceasing
Always growing
And now the sun rises
Bringing with it the hope of the new day
A friend will leave, i know this now
That makes the day no harder
That makes the day no easier

Entrance to a damp and cold pub
I throw my picture across the counter
A drink recieved, it's the last i'll share
With the friend, to lose i can't bare

Then the lights of Egypt call
And too them i both stumble and fall
Insert the money, i press the button
Egypt swirls
The Eye of Horus flashes past
Protecting my loss with his gaze
More eyes come, a beautiful sight
For the first gold coin drops into the tray
The great pyramids take thier turn
And all they do is make it burn
2 gold coins fall into the tray
I take them up and here i say
"The day looks up
Best of luck!"

I have my memory
My gold coins
A night of sleep
Enticed by faith and hope in a friend
...of the eternal sort...

I've never seen Sobek posting a poem before......
Anyways, I liked it, but I really didn't see the point. What is this poem trying to tell us?
Live
Love
Life
Happiness

I have read this poem a few times. Each time I get a different feeling or interpretation. I was hoping that I would have a part of it pegged down before now. I am left with a few questions and would love to hear your reply when the time is right. I liked the beginning though a lot. It is the way I felt when I had to drive my best friend to the airport knowing that Germany was an ocean away. I guess that is why I am having a hard time putting my finger on the meaning. Each time I read this I have another flashback in my life. Besides the one I just mentioned, I thought of my ex's dad when we were about to take him off of life support, my sisiter going away to college, when my best friend got married, and when I broke up with someone that I still loved but knew we did not have a future. Cannot wait to hear about it. Hopefully more people will post soon. lol
