' Better Not Be a Lustrous Gem '

~~~~~~~~~~ *-* ~~~~~~~~~~~ Emblematic pebble - prevailing existence Delineate unfathomable sense Lifeless yet undergone changes - metamorphosis Unambiguous yet peculiar at stasis Blunt, vague yet worthy - gist always camouflaged Craggy yet core debonair perfection deluged Stepped yet resilient - unvanquishable Perfunctory entity - nitid thing for tangible Better not be a lustrous gem for it will last I'm a road stone in a trodden route not blown by gust. ~~~~~~~~~~ *-* ~~~~~~~~~~~

Lady, you got one heckuva vocabulary... and insight, too! May your unfathomable debonair resiliency never be vanquished :)
