Siblings In StoneA Poem by William Michael ReevesRock Sonnets series
"Oh, brother mine! We're born as stone set free.
We both have life as Mother's seeds of fire; you know my secret ... understand desire, to have a hollow crystal heart like me." "Dear sister, please! As twins appear we be. We're formed the same in Father's molten pyre. My center's solid, yet, I must aspire to color agate bright ~ so vividly." "You hounds of rock found stones beguiled, do bode. But if you crack us open ... please, we beg! Surprise your eyes ~ belied beauty bestowed." "Appearance does decieve, so heed our ode; inside you'll find that I am Thunder Egg. My sister is a jewel named Geode." 2022 © 2023 William Michael ReevesAuthor's Note
