Hi everyone - this is a repost from my blog:

Everyone knows gold,

and it never gets old.

Aurum from old latin,

reminds of a sun set scene.

Aurora the morning light,

so golden, beatiful and bright.

Gulda, means dawn or yellow shine,

a name fitting quite fine.

It is the most noble metal existing,

king above quite a listing.

Like a queen very selective,

but if desired indeed reactive.

Gold is a result of cosmic action,

Supernova nuclesynthesis the major fraction.

neutron star collision far out there,

and magnetar flares, which are quite rare.

Unevenly distributed among earth,

it found its way after a stelar birth,

in the very bones of our home,

to decorate coins and throne.

Treasury and coinage still relevant,

altough a little less significant,

as governments do not ensure currency,

with gold bars as form of security,

Gold is present in jewelery,

barely one of us to see,

without a ring, a neckless,

a bit of riches to dress,

In modern electronics used,

golds superior conductivity boost,

easy to form, corrosion resistant,

growing more and more significant.

Gold gets increasing attention in medicine,

as a non toxic center within,

drugs and treatments,

ideal as gold we can simply digest.

Forged among the stars

stored as coins and bars

asigned to money and power,

since humanities earlieset hour,

Metallized sunshine,

unique and divine,

Gold has a magical attraction,

pure beauty affection.
