What lesson this, God's gift to humankind,
this nitid imago sent to spellbind?
Should I see through His eyes a thousandfold,
the dazzling blue flitting of love untold.
A grace. A gift from Heaven, angels sing.
This unspoken Truth of Hope on the wing.

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.
