Turning the days
over in the hand
seeing the points
uncertain
as in a clouded prism
seeing the facets
the changing aspects
shifting into view
but not the soul
not the heart
the dark history
hid within
this mystery
undisclosed
concealed
what is it
this unseen
central secret
shadow
buried deep
in the amethyst
