Its colour, cut, clarity

Can still be held by your

Hands, the same as mine

Gleaned through the fact

It has value in the giving

The number merely effort

Gilt timepieces

Reflecting out curious time

To sit comfortable and talk

Celebrate the occasion

The fiancé, colleague, then

And only then with a flourish

Polite goodbyes

And the human within the stone

By J.W.H. Hobbs.
