"Prismed Gems"

Prismed Gems

Sweet silence, dew, at my behest
Recalling times beneath the folds
Remember, silence, and attest
Where rivers molten, embarked, then froze
They daze the eyes in prismed gems
Pure diamond carats twinkle free
Such monuments of era's past
Worn on a ring, engagements be
A promise for all eternity
Recalling twinkled history
