Alabaster  mixed with shreds of bone

Which is of  greater value to the lone,
They  suffer despite access to the web
A jewelled ring or a sea-polished stone?

Days of love when by the sea we roamed
May mean as much as love shared in a bed
Which is of greater value to the lone?

A home computer and a good smartphone
A thoughtful book forever to be read,
A jewelled ring or a sea-polished stone

Alabaster  mixed with shreds of bone
Found at Dunwich, telling as a rib
Which is of higher value to the lone

As the rounds of running tides brings poems
Let us hold  in memory  what we had
Both jewelled ring and such sea-polished stones

As I blunder, writing poems at home,
I wonder, who shall know such love again
Which can bring more comfort to the lone
A jewelled ring or a sea-polished stone?
