Fondly Kept

within the warmth       
  within the wall            
    jubilant echoes 
     stirring up the years
       so soft assuring
         a nice thing they
           protectively keep
            
on bookshelves
  by the study lamp
    paperweight conch
      timeless age fondly 
        framed snapshots 
          a nice thing they
            protectively keep

like rare pearls
  loveliness exotic
    soft  tinge mystic
      memories glint
        shale stone flint
          a nice thing they
            protectively keep
