Shiny Stone

[ShadowsCool]

Shiny stone
Without honor you lay in the ground
Waiting for discovery of you at last;
And what of you does one find
Of you that eyes say divine?

In the millionth hour you are set free
Then stone cased - set in gold
There you stand to behold;
And the millionth smile you endure,
And the shine you demure,
Against the sky
That is your flaw,
That last for evermore.

It reads quite nicely, but I think you've perhaps put a little too much effort into rhyme. This made a couple of lines feel little awkward, particularly "Of you that eyes say divine?"

I really like this:

In the millionth hour you are set free
Then stone cased - set in gold
There you stand to behold;

It feels nice and natural, lovely to read. On the whole, I like it, and perhaps a little bit of re-wording might improve it :)
