Jewel Keeper Crystal prisms blinding Reflecting a bull’s eye Annular gems glinting Together, surrounded by Stately stone cyclopean Hues of sardonyx, citrine The polarizing symmetry Fascinates Corinne Study of spectrometry Beveled edges, bottle green Single steadfast shaft Of bright lampbent light Beacon to a pleasure craft Sails of star-stone white Oh, metaphorical life raft Travelling in one direction Piercing pearly clouds To a point, golden section Where darkness enshrouds A watery faint reflection Undulating, rolling tide Jagged edges in hiding Inundation, starboard side Two entities colliding Silence follows wild ride Historical burial site Craggy sapphire channel Adrift this obsidian night Prayers for survival Preserved by prismatic light © 1999 Corinne Bailey |

I start out looking at gemstones, and find myself on a cruise... Quite mesmerizing, I might say...  |

what a wonderful cycle, Corinne, from prism across a spectral sea and back on prismatic light. Rick |
