A Soul of Unfaceted Gemstones

A Soul of Unfaceted Gemstones  


Thunderegg’s unbroken orb lies in hidden wait ,
beyond the mineral curtain’s veil

Undetected glittering beauty beheld
beneath nature’s cleaver guise

The rough textured sphere of the geode
coarse crust cloaks a nebulous mystery

The unidentified iridescent splendor within
bejewels like the magic of
muted heart’s unspoken murmurs

Languid unheeded shine ,
lusterless as an unturned river stone

A forlorn unfaceted diamond in the rough ,
insphered quartz crystalline repose

Agate bloodstone transforms by hands touch
awakening life-breath of Spring sunlight
shown into unsullied darkness

Lightning buried igneous gemstone purple vein ,
Soul lattice longs to metamorphose aglow
spirit of love percolating of destiny’s purpose
touch of thy erupting light upon opening palms …
