Cone of the tree
carved in balsam fir
breathe incense
lift the lid
to reveal
jade of hidden metaphor
lyrics of red jaspers
vision of lapis lazuli
set in free verse
oceans of stories
sound of the trees

Jane, you said a lot in very few words. The intimate connection with nature and the gems hidden within it stand out for me.
