Lapidary

Please don't harm the outside of
this priceless stone I found.
It has only been a short time since
I dug her from the ground.

She glistens in the moonlight
and blends with twinkled stars.
More beautiful than the lapidary
forming undulating scars.

She reconciles with yellow
and makes friends with rain.
She flushes away the darkness
and relinquishes the pain.

What am I to do now when I
take a loving knee?
Because there's nothing I can give
her that's more precious than she.
