Look at this frozen tear

Of an ancient tree –

The tree is long since dead,

But the eternal beauty remains.

So the tears of love, dying off,

Finally give life to something precious

And eternal…

Ah, amber as the frozen tear of an ancient tree! How lovely! And the instrumental is so soothing and unrushed, a perfect accompaniment to your lovely poem.

Incredible!
Svetlana Goryacheva Feb 24, 2009, 6:31am EST
Thank you all, my dearest ones... I must admit I love amber much, much more than any precious stones the world... it is so warm, so filled with sunlight... it's ALIVE! :-)

Blessings and best wishes to everyone - S.

Sveta, amber is like a little meteor from the past. It is alive with inclusions. Great snippet. I enjoy a brief form for writing as I think that my mind stops pretty quickly. It is always wonderful to read your work Sveta. I send blessings today.
love,
Karen
Svetlana Goryacheva Feb 24, 2009, 8:07am EST

Amber is one of those things that has always fascinated me. The last piece of amber I had wandered off during this last move, so I think it's time I find a new piece. Thanks for this lovely poem! I've featured it today on www.allourrelations.com

wishing you laughter, my friend
