The rocks stored up sun <br />For so long, and so long; <br />In their rocky hearts <br />Since time’s begun. <br /> <br />Tumbled and polished; <br />So rare, so rare- <br />They could tell a tale <br />From when we weren't there. <br /> <br />I'm saving these rocks <br />Born before earth, <br />Pieces of mantle <br />That gave me birth. <br /> <br />There's sun in my bones, <br />And sun in my hair- <br />Rock crystals- and beauty- <br />From a sun, so fair<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-sun-so-fair/
