Tarnished disc, in calloused palm you rest,  
A face worn smooth, a legend half-suppressed.  
Once clinked in coffers, bought a king his crown,  
Now begged for alms, tossed tinkling to the ground.  

A single coin, a history untold,  
Of empires risen, relinquished, sold.  
A soulful lover's token, whispered sweet goodbye,  
A sailor's charm beneath a stormy sky.  

It spins and dances, heads or tails decide,  
A twist of fate, the paths we cannot hide.  
In fortune's hand we let the coin embark,  
A fragile vessel in the churning dark.  

But hold it close, this emblem worn and thin,  
For etched within, a tiny spark may win.  
A chance encounter, kindness unforeseen,  
A single coin, a universe between.
