A Longing for the Gates of Gold

Emerging out of restless fog and cold
pillars of steel and crimson red do stand.
Formidable figure took twenty-two hands
and created the Pearly Gates of Gold.
Its strength and grace impossible to behold.
It draws those from the lively coast land
into shores where icy depth and life disbands
and welcome those who seek rebirth from old.
Oh how you tip the scales of morbid beauty
and hold my heart in a gruesome stalemate.
To feel your dreams of romance and epic history
and contemplate the sorrow that you perpetually abate.
A California complete treasure filled with astounding duty
to those who follow the piper and the heartbeat of the Golden Gate.
