Jadehunter

Author : Jadehunter
Of cobbles and troubles

And scant hunks of jade

I'll tell you a tale

Of the fortunes I've made

For the north wind is blowin'

And the gravel is froze

The river sweeps by

Carrying ice chunks and floes

I launch in a backwater

Gentle and smooth

Dip in me oars

Now I'm starting to move

Thinking mainly of treasure

Gemstones of worth

Pulling steady and gaining

My raft surges forth

Out into the current

Riding waves and white foam

Like a turd at a flush fest

I struggles and rows

Now there's doubters and pouters

And pundits galore

Who'll state with conviction

I'll not reach that far shore

But I gets to my island

Making fast to a rock

And I pause for a moment

To catch breath and take stock

I've got hours of daylight

Fields of cobbles past sight

Woollen raiment and wrap

'Gainst the cold north wind bite

So I sets me a cairn

Takes up shovel and pack

And I strides to a landmark

Where at I turns back

Now you may wonder what moves me

To walk back and forth

Through the dregs of an ice age

On a steady straight course

Where there's cobbles and shingles

And boulders and grains

And the most of them mingles

With fish bones and remains

There's serpentine plenty

Mixed with granite and quartz

Magnesite tremolite

And strange other sorts

Peridot and garnet

In fire that was made

But the object that lures me

Is that rare hunk of jade

Long ago, before time

In the womb of the earth

Where the rocks were all melted

And flowed freely forth

Some formed threads like asbestos

Others cooled like glass

When the glass filled the threads

To form a fibrous mass

A jade rill was born

With orogenous thrust

And awaked to the sunshine

At earths outer crust

Then came the ice

In great rivers that flowed

Carved chasms through crags

Dragged with them a load

Heaps of rock and gemstone

And gravel and gold

Cast colossal terrains

In a mountainous mold

The ice melted in torrents

Scoured canyons in mud

Leaving litters of lithe

In the wake of the flood

The hunters that came

In the absence of ice

Made their tools of stone

Using crafty device

They found one above all

That could shape and endure

And Jade is the one

I now seek to secure

So I watch pretty careful

As I make my way long

Turning rocks with my shovel

Thinking Words to a poem

Then my attention is caught

Through the corner of my eye

By a rock that looks different

From the others nearby

I moves close for a look

I see fracture and form

Lustre and cleavage

And polish and more

So I brush off the silt

And I rolls it around

I lifts it up lightly

And taps it for sound

The weight is just right

Color a green shade

I draws a great breath

And I hollers it's Jade!

Now older boulders

Than me and you

Has rowed up this river

A time or two

And some come lately

To lookie loo

With their tacky attire

And tasteless tattoos

But Jade waits for none

On its way to the sea

Only vigil will find it

Take care, attend thee

Live large, act small

Keep your mind on the chore

Then Jade will find you

And elude you no more
