WEALTH

I have wealth: write, play chess, make love,
directed, watched over, noted, from heaven above;
the favourite rune but difficult to perceive,
distant and unachievable if you don't believe.

Then there was mindset, like my boss's house,
symbols on the columns bemusing a passing mouse,
that mouse was transfixed when it went past the last one,
all traits of disinterest and ennui were gone.

It's useless without health and a little stealth,
you can channel your directions all by yourself,
my alphabet is picked from long ago, so slow
to show itself beyond everything above and below.

My Germanic friends left symbols without ends,
they knew that's where perspicacity finally transcends.
