Like Crystal

Do you mean that the earth, the globe, is a crystal? If so this is rather nice, the sun shining on the different sides never giving up on us, never dying out, always shining as it does. And then you are comparing us to that crystal saying we can never shine like it, am I understanding what you mean Scott? I disagree that all people fail to make their crystals glitter, each has the tiny metamorphosis of light that the sun creates within us and which keeps us alive at all, and some reflect this wonderful glittering light from themselves even in their desperation and the darkness of this funny old world. I need your 'inspill' in-play here, input I suppose, to explain to this non-crystal what the crystal is all about. Yours Ann of Norway. Are they anything like this? :- Swedish "Stars" by Edith Södergran:- Stjärnorna När natten kommer                                        When the night comes 
står jag på trappan och lyssnar,                     I stand on the steps and listen 
stjärnorna svärma i trädgården                       the stars are swarming in the garden
 och jag står ute i mörkret.                               and I stand out in the dark 
Hör, en stjärna föll med en klang!                  Listen, a star fell with a clang! 
Gå icke ut i gräset med bara fötter;                Don't go out in the grass with bare feet;
 min trädgård är full av skärvor.                       My garden is full of splinters. My bad translation no doubt!! Ann

Title, yep.It appeals to me, I understand to a degree, the meaning of your words.We all want to be beautiful, Beauty in the eye of the beholder, wanting to shine above the rest, recognition, to never fade and die, look I could go on forever, but I wont. I may have read too much from your words but I did like the write and the way you portrayed. Lyz.
