...a gem...

"all that glitters is not gold"

…a gem…

 

gems refract...reflect...and sparkle...true

each facet shines with beauty new

but any stone would likewise be

regardless of opacity

true brilliance comes from deep within

with clarity it all begins

and light shines through a clear inside

one single beam gets multiplied

each facet cut mathematically

and polished geometrically

each polished side like mirror seems

reflecting many twinkling beams

when seen...produces “oooh”s and “aaah”s

devoid of any chips or flaws

we marvel at the its tiny might

reflecting all this gleaming light

describing life as simile

we could reflect just what we see

with open heart and purpose true

akin to letting light shine through

reflect inside imbue its heat

induce our heart to strongly beat

then love will grow...and bravery

increasing exponentially

so fear not harm or fail to trust

for that will harm the rest of us

so take the chance...let someone in

imagine all that you might win

i would be true to whatever i think about this write .. well for me it is one of those utopian ones that brings out a point which hardly exists . it's true that we should shine and polish our inner selves so that love can reside in here . but love is a give and take process and its never necessary that by opening ourselves to others we will win something . instead these days people who trust others and believe in love turn out to be losers in the end . stones sparkle and that's that for them but the same doesn't hold true for human beings .. wish it was all that simple .

as for a write this was really good and the simile was well thought of.
