The Jewel
There is this cave
In the air behind my body
That nobody is going to touch:
A cloister, a silence
Closing around a blossom of fire.
When I stand upright in the wind,
My bones turn to dark emeralds.

Gorgeous photo ... gorgeous poem. We all need air behind our body that noone can touch.

Hi HP, and Phd, Yep, it really struck me as a beautiful reminder, a place to gather strength.
