You are not a diamond
for you are not hard
and you are not sharp
and you are not bright.
You are not gold
for you are not dense
and you are not soft
and you are not shiny.
You are not silver
for you are not light
and you are not white
and you are not heavy.
You are not sapphire
for you are not blue
and you are not calm
and you are not deep.
You are not ruby
for you are not red
and you are not attractive
and you are not visible.
You are not iron
for you are not strong
and you are not flexible
and you are not smooth.
You are just a stone
full of imperfections
and broken
and withered.
You are just a rock
unfaceted
and unprecious
and incongruent.
But you are a meteorite
something I want to explore
and the only proof I have
that someway, somehow
I am not alone
drifting in the nothingness.
