A jewel, a flower and a friend

Sharp and shiny, hard,
long, long lasting,
crystal forces strongly bind,
unblemished,
incorruptible
perfect content,
perfect structure
pure, glittering,
bright and clear:
    expensive jewel.
––––––––––––––

Soft and tender,
fragile, transient beauty,
delicate artistic shading
depth of detail,
soothing, patterned variation,
warm and smiling:
    exquisite living flower.
––––––––––––––

Faithful friend or spouse,
resilient, true,
crystal clear
no fear of disloyalty
dependable, rock of wisdom,
unshakeable, immovable,
enduring, priceless jewel;
beauty of character:
tender, empathetic:
    inestimable, cherished
    like a living flower.
