Beads

Melted Sand

becomes glass,

a touch of color

from the glass blower’s hand.

It becomes a jewel.

Tiny seeds that grow,

become intricate

jewelry with the artist’s touch.

Surround the pendant

with heightened colors

radiates the life within.

Crystals polished bright

pulls us to them,

holds us spell bound

with their sparkly light.

From the earth’s bones

comes the most beautiful of stones,

Slivered thin framed within

a magic landscape has come again.

A wealth of beads

as beauty unfolds,

a glittering future

for all to uphold.

On your neck it’s placed

to enhance the beauty

of a lovely face.
