Thank you Brad, it's for G. Sq., but needs more poolish!

>Necklace of Gray Beads
>
>Across the valley with moon above
>the mountain on watch through the night
>firefly brief, ghostly shadows flicker, wait
>gray twilight where last I saw you
>fondle beauties in these beads of gray.
>The dial turns, the hours glide
>each flint, topaz, onyx, clay
>twist their face to mystery's way.
>In the brush of the sky
>there must be one bead that paints
>for you all I would say
>
>why varied textures are comfort in your prescence,
>because you are you, and I
>find the lures of beauty when hidden deep
>beneath the subtle luster of low sheen
>
>gray blue eyes years remember in windows reflection
>tightly stored in safe condition
>beads of beauty, forgotten possessions
>wait with the one expectation
>for worlds to pass
>
>around the darkening house we played
>peek a boo, hide and seek
>strange intruded, bound, abruptly stopped.
>
>Hemitite, iron, obsidian we've become
>stronger than we dreamed,
>Beyond us a world boils confusion.
>
>Silence feels this smoothed hard familiar loneliness
>hears the shadows of light, star sapphire
>and between us the valley and heaven's moonstone
>light hidden away
>
>opals, fire agate, these labadourites
>of missive glows remind
>forgotten places remain
>they will carry us two
>
>discounted keys kept, love records, reviews
>all we do, fearless of the monster waste of time
>long devoured, we live
>asleep, climbing rope bridges of beads
>half on, half off the bed.
