Shimmer
By Zola
Shimmering down on me from my shelf
I look at it and say, “Wow!”
Passed by my ancestors
Amethyst
Ocean blue
Unbreakable
Shows the past
The little stones tells stories
Talks to me in a language only I can understand
Sometimes it murmurs to me
It’s been torn in the heart
She stays strong
Lost it 10,000 times but still in my blood
Dark on the outside, light on the inside
Waits for me every single day
I hold it and look
It whispers ancient words.
