On a shelf, a clear glass jar
Shaped by water, these stones are
Of various colors of the land
White, burnt umber, gray and tan
A variety of matter comes from away
Some is white, some volcanic gray
Smooth and bubbled, cloudy and clear
Glasslike orbs of beauty here.
By pressure and storm impaction,
They are crafted by volcanic action.
Now come forth at winter’s morn.
Agates are these treasures born.
Nice
