A Poem
by Kelvin C Kato

Harden, yellow pine resin buried centuries ago,
Found in only a few places scattered around the world,
But not as highly valued as diamonds or gold
Or in great demand like precious earth metals
Yet, in skilled hands, it can become a thing of beauty
Like words cut and then set into a poem.

This is just a Memory Shot. But what a great memory. Very skilled artisans cut and polished and created this absolutely amazing room with walls of amber.
