Mans inspiration steals its way
Unobtrusively to mind
Like a cat burglar on a heist:
Stealthy, but it comes not to rob
Intellectual property
But to deposit a priceless gem
Still unpolished yet nonetheless
Precious to a creative mind.
Unlike a diamond in the rough
This gems luster is most fleeting
Whose innate beauty potential
Is measured in nanoseconds
Thus leaving little precious time
To create a faceted gem.
