I didn’t drag it out into some long boring Pastor Corey story.

I never would have gotten the pun -- partly because I haven't encountered the word "talent" in twenty or thirty years -- but also because I wouldn't think that you could hide a coin in the spaces in-between words.

The poem, otoh, is impressively written and can stand on its own -- with the elusive "gold" being whatever the reader imagines it to be.

I see the "gold" as a talent for composing flawless meter -- with the spaces representing rests in between the beats that make up the meter. The golden talent, thereby, is "hidden in plain sight" within the spaces that define each metric beat.
