Gem of Imperfections

coondogk9


Pools of light filled the night
reflections from a tear.
A moonbeam cast its shadow
a head held low in mourning.

A cultured pearl blemished
its glaze dull and tarnished.
Yet I hold it to my breast
even still a work of art.

A diamond it remains
resilient in its strength.
It's sparkle I may never cover,
just admire it's beauty.

May it's luster never fade
under misguided light.
Poised on it's pedestal
draped in nestled care.
