The Stone Necklace

A white stone necklace 
with its delicate chain 
laid around her neck. 
Matching the buttons on her blouse.
It was a nuance. 
Yet I picked up on it.
Like so many I watch for.
Countless times 
I have tried to look away. 
But my eyes only see
everything 
I have wished for.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
