Replying to a comment on:

Here In The Heart of Amber (Free verse) by Lenore

Tears that heaven knows when had sucked the fire of some forgotten sun, and kept it through centuries of gloom; Still glowing-- Here in the heart of Amber. This glittering armour in the sun, glinting ripples, one by one, come shining across my face where fossils keep in destined place-- Here in the heart of Amber. Time's story flowing by, Forever sweet to flesh and eye, Forever new and never done. In golden drops death and life are one-- Here in the heart of Amber.

I think the fossil keep in the places where they're destined rather than, I don't know, running away. This is good, and quite qualifiable as lyric by the way if you want to go that way. Very concrete and pre-raphaelite. Tennyson, even. The all-time master formalist.
