Marble - 6/2/09

What is forged under pressure
And heated situations
Yet is one of nature's toughest creations,
Evolved through metamorphosis
But unchanged at the core
What remains at the core,
Is a shine, a beacon made in the dark
That glimmers like the beat of an indomitable heart
And at the heart of it all
Is that through the fusion
There are overt and pristine intrusions
Pieces that came together but didn't coalesce
But oh what a bless-
Ing, what a wonderful thing,
How the imperfections came to be what were most beautiful.
Oh my dear, how like marble you are.
Radiant brown skin that shines,
Success and failures metamorphose your mind,
While your heart glimmers with poise and pride,
In your streaks you should confide...
They make you so beautiful in my eyes,
You are perfectly imperfect,
An example of how perfect could never be worth it
Oh my dear, how like marble you are.

-A. Lewis
