Precious Gems

A Precious gem 
An enemy and a friend
The beginning of the end

A Moonstone
Made of flesh built of bone
To the young and being grown

A Ruby red
Alive and dead
The written and the read

An Emerald green
The hidden and the seen
What is to come and what has already been

A Pearl white
The day into the night
To the left and from the right

A Diamond shines
Yours and mine
The straight edge and a cursive line

A Jewel forever
Now to Never
Last my eternity

Where we go 
Who we know 
Never my destiny

The Stone lasts
The spell casts
Forever is gone in a day

As history fades
And future weighs
It all just burns away

All the ashes
All the caskets
Left to feed the grey

All the dreams 
The glitter gleams
Crushed and blown away

A bitter bomb
Here and gone
All the songs resounding with the BOOM

The children will cry 
To say goodbye
To the golden afternoons

It never will it never was
The only thing that ever is
Is what we are of

Be it hate
Be it great
Be it all of love

What I am is what i do
When it ends 
The do is through

So DO
Do and Do and Do
Until your doings through

So much expressed here, and each thought holds depth- such meaning. It is a lifetime of moments- or so it seems. Your thoughts curl around me gently. ~ Brandy
