Beyond the bounds of vast and stormy seas
Surrounded by the tides of shifting sands
There showered in the moonlight gently sleeps
A gem concealed within uncharted lands

Though none could claim its beauty for their own
I, fool, had thought it simply must be mine
Could not resist the tantalising stone
So smitten by its mesmerising shine

Beneath its shell a gently warming core
With power to fulfil a dreamer's dream
An ordinary man, and nothing more

Yet to my awe, the jewel's tender heart
Forgave the fool who craved the treasured gleam
Decided to become my morning star
