Treasured Gems
Gently chiselled from past pains
her words carve new hope
into a troubled world,
leaving treasured gems
next to upturned stones,
offered freely to perceptive travellers
trekking through the jungle
of everyday life.

Author's Note
Comp entry for "Doppelgänger: the DUP Oscars", hosted by highlyfunctional.
https://deepundergroundpoetry.com/poets/jemac
Jemac’s poetry speaks to me of the very human journey through life’s ups and downs, charting spirited responses to each event along the way. Her poems cut unsuspectingly deep into the human soul.

Thank you HF - your Doppelgänger series is doing really great, bringing unknown DUP poets to the attention of others.

She is a one of a kind beautiful soul, no doubt. What she does with just a few words leaves me breathless more often than not.
You've captured the essence of her beautifully here, Josh

I am in love with this brief, simple yet profoundly reverberating work of art..

Thank you Antonella for visiting this way. Glad you liked the poem (and hope you are inspired to read Jemac's). And welcome to DUP, and for following me I've just seen. Best regards, Josh.

Agree with our colleagues Josh. I love the spirit of your tributes, above and beyond the beauty of their composition. You continually inspire me to broaden the scope of my awareness on site.

Thank you Daniel for your supportive commenting (on this and other of my poems). I'm not sure how long this Doppelgänger comp is going on for, but it keeps me encouraged to read deeper those I have been following - both old and new - and I find I am increasingly inspired by the humanity of poets gathered here on DUP.

Glad you like it Rose - and feel inspired to read some of Jemac's poetry. The Doppelgänger comp has certainly been a catalyst for introducing poets' work on DUP. Have a nice day, Josh.

Well done and deserved.

Thank you very much A_t; I gather nowadays "uplit" (uplifting literature) is on trend :))
