Hundredth


promises of value

once prismatic brilliance;
brilliant only through borrowed light

alone again in darkness, gleaming;
glumly instant companionship -

blind to grief and deaf to joy,
save by pristine mirth of lone-ward thought

our only hope: it polishes well and with crispness,
sparkle, in brilliant light of each reader's eye

I can't help but remember those days when I skipped class and holed up in the library when I read this poem. I like it very much. Bravo.
