    I believe this poem is all about perspective. The man sees a ball of gold. However, once he reaches for it, it is no longer as significant to him. He takes it for granted and thinks it is merely clay. Once he takes a step back (or maybe metaphorically grows older and looks back) he realizes that it really was GOLD, or a golden moment in time that he cannot take back.
