The Crystal of Hope

The glossy crystal beaming ever so bright,
The crystal of hope shimmering,
The blaze from the spikes,
Catches a glimpse to my eye,
And the jagged surface on the outside,

As I clutch it tight in my palm,
It brings back memories from when I was young,

Inflexible,
Still,
Craggy,
Hope,

Christmas dinner on a warm summer's evening,
Lots of presents,
Lots of fun,
I unravel the box,
Colourful and bright,
The glossy crystal beaming ever so bright.
