(Her Heart Is)

Her heart is the Hope Diamond –
guarded behind glass
but rare and many-
faceted
and beautiful beyond
compare –
a treasure I was lucky enough to
see
and hold
for one disappearing moment
barely long enough to
remember
but as real as
an icicle in December that holds
the memory of frost
inside its cells
and tells of storms and winter
nights
before a warm and rising sun
transforms
all the frozen things
into the water that brings
the spring.
