White Sapphire Ring, 

given to me by my grandmother in 2006

 

An ice shard,

a snowflake

immortalized

on my third left finger,

embraced

 

by four silver arms

holding it in place

and flanked

by two smaller slivers

 

of white

on a simple, circle

band. Rectangles

repeat inward

catching the sun,

reflecting

and refracting

 

its energy

like a clear

little

(but deep)

pond,

that is perfectly glassy,

unbroken

on the surface

 

but dancing

radiantly

beneath.
