Simple is My Middle Name

I am not impressed
by diamonds
or other fancy stones
Glitter on a ring
or bracelet
Doesn't sway
my ah's and oh's

Keep away those
sparkling
man carved
signs of greed
or fainted expectations
Can't change
the emptines I felt
A non-compilation
of waiting
to get slowly
on with speed

Wait me a river
with blue heron
Stalking that far side
