Looking into the Microscope....



















Looking unfazed

They gaze my look



They won’t change

But they change my view

Though they are in my contact

They remain intact



The shape …the relief

The color…the pleochroism

The cleavage …the extinction

The inclusions…their reflections

The twinning … the zoning

The deformation… the alteration



Mineral is always perfect…

Even in terms of imperfections


It always gives me clue

Why, when and how

It won’t change…

The combination may change



It’s my turn to see them again and again

Make complex process simple


It’s my turn to understand nature…

In it's own terms!



It’s my turn to follow the flow path

To get the mineral bonanza!

Wonderful response to the prompt. I love reading contributions from poets with knowledge completely foreign to me. You both educate and entertain with this clever piece.

I agree with Kim. It is nice to gain a new understanding. This makes me want to learn more about crystals. Nice job.
