Deep beneath the silent ground, they lie,
Stones that tell of ages passed by,
Crystals gleam in hidden light,
Nature’s secrets held so tight.

Shimmering quartz and emerald green,
Granite strong and limestone seen,
Each a story, each a song,
In Earth’s embrace, they belong.

Through the veins of time, they weave,
Histories in their forms deceive,
From molten cores to mountain peaks,
In every fragment, the Earth speaks.

Weathered by the wind and rain,
Yet within, they still remain,
Guardians of the planet’s lore,
Rocks and minerals forevermore.
