The Most Precious Jewel

The cold metal frame,
Embellished with twisted serpents.
Acting as cruel chains to restrain it.
The clouded deep blue egg,
Covered with golden speckles,
Like fallen stars.
The cord, black as ink,
Fraying from the many uses.
Until it happened.
In all its radiant beauty,
The most precious jewel was locked away.
Imprisoned for all eternity,
In a dark, lonely box.
The most precious jewel,
Once treasured.
Never seen again.
