chalcedony
the gentle subtlety of true light breaks
arrests then aggregates radiating
how the glow extends to us despite our faults
crystal life system your gap symmetry a balance of victories
moss agate, the nacreous imagine, stalactite, a petrified wood for lovers
how you hover as forms
in the interstices
warrior, queen
your magnanimity
a wonder seeking air

I enjoy geology, although I have to admit I don’t know a great deal about it. I do recognize the names of the stones, though!
