Stability with a lustrous shine <br />A hint of preciousness <br />Coursing through the stuff of life <br /> <br />Common as folks, rare as star shadows <br />Forged firmly in the flames of right <br />Cast into finery, befitting jewels <br /> <br />You are found between iron and silver, <br />Strong, stable, and beautiful <br /> <br />Inspired by a line in Hannibal, by Thomas Harris: “The most stable elements, Clarice, appear in the middle of the periodic table, roughly between iron and silver. Between iron and silver. That is appropriate for you, I think. “<br /><br />Robert Hiers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/between-iron-and-silver/
