The Treasured Worthless Ring

The ring she gave was made of lead
And broke one lonely day.
“It has no worth,” the jeweler said.
He’ll keep it anyway.

Gold Chain

Hidden in the rocks, its value

Waits to be found.

Digging, hitting, pounding.

Comes above the ground.

What does it want to be?

It doesn’t know.

Love’s Passage

Unexpectedly, as flowers in spring.

That unfold the day before…

My love is full.

——

The Ring

Balls of fire fight

in the sky, the winner takes

away the diamond
