Geode – v3

A tungsten steel rock hammer
a birthday present
bit into the curved rock
lighter than it should have been
for its size and shape
uncovered a world hidden
and magical, sparkling,
hidden inside the dull plain stone
bright jewels of color and angles
amethyst, purple, light,
light bouncing, refracting
off the quartz inside
within the stone, the rock,
found by force, providence,
and serendipity
