Every memory becomes a pearl
on this string of large white beads -
interspersed by the diamond sharp images
captured in the minds eye.

In times of silence, these jeweled lengths come out,
the slow "clack" leading us to remember the times...
counting away the days
until the next time
when more memories are made.

Hard pearls, sharp diamonds --
they form the links
that draw us both together.
