Precious Stones

There are crystals in the caves
when moisture gathers where the men are mining.
There are diamonds in the water
when the sun is shining.
There are emeralds in the forest
when dew drops glisten on the leaves.
There are rubies on my finger
when I prick it and it bleeds.
There are sapphires in your eyes
when they are full of angry tears.
There are jewels in our world,
set in love and bound with years.
