I was mining yesterday
and deep into the mind shaft
followed a vein of thoughts
even deeper
into my heart and soul
searching for precious gems
special words and phrases
to express my heart's language
syllables more precious than silver
more durable than refiner's gold
some sapphire similes I thought
or fiery ruby rhymes
I dug deepest for the diamonds
to make the poem shine
I sifted through the metaphors
removing gravel, sand
until only the finest gem stones
remained in my imaginary pen
and satisfied my work now done
with the gems I found
Tonight I'll open the treasure chest
and give the king his crown.
Jewel-like words are valued by a poet because the reflect a light that transports us. The poet is a humble servant of that light, always purifying his words to be its vehicle, like colored glass in a stained-glass window. This is a fine tribute to Kumarmani Mahakul.
Wow! This is a master piece of poem and brilliant expression is shared here. I am deeply touched by your kind words. This is my pleasure to read a poetic gem. Syllables are more precious than silver. Smile with rhymes form the diamond. Opening the chest of treasure we can find the crown. Swimming in yesterday's deep thought we can find today; s light of mercy of God is interesting. Deeper in heart and soul precious gems are preserved with thoughts and values. This is a brilliant and outstanding poem shared here is very heart touching....10
