Graham Jones - Forever Amber.

Forever amber is my shrine
Sealed in sap for endless time
Washed ashore by tide and seas
Ornaments for you and me

Pebble smooth they shine like glass
Worn down by seas in times gone past
If they could talk, what tales they'd tell
Of men of war and gold as well

To you and I just pretty things
For use as necklaces and rings
Things of interest, well you know
But still we use them just for show.

Graham Jones
