Poem: Diamonds and Dinosaur Bones

[sherlockian_syn]

He was my archaeological find.
Something to unearth and
examine. Something to study.

A diamond dulled by the sand,
coarse grains scraping
the shining beauty held inside.

I was patient enough
to unravel the enigma.
It became my quest.

Sweeping the dust,
clearing the cobwebs,
letting the light in.

Fragile bone,
broken heart,
crooked spine.

A mind awake and alive,
longing in deep dark places
to be rescued.

He is my greatest discovery.
