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
