White diamonds sparkle in the sand <br />And speckle darkened skies <br />Green em`ralds flash in glist`ning seas <br />Then glint in envious eyes <br /> <br />Blue sapphires dance in wand`ring streams <br />To shine in summer`s hue <br />With amethyst in heather set <br />In lavender there too <br /> <br />Bright rubies sway in poppy fields <br />To glow in fires of red <br />Are captured in the flow of blood <br />From heroes lying dead <br /> <br />Then pearls so lustre in the clouds <br />As through the sun defined <br />Whilst topaz sets my heart aglow <br />In fields of corn entwined <br /> <br />The golden lambent sunshine glows <br />When risen high at noon <br />With misty robes of silver then <br />Soft draped around the moon <br /> <br />Such beauty lingers `pon the earth <br />On mother nature`s gown <br />These burnished jewels yet deeply set <br />In her adorning crown<br /><br />Valerie Dohren<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jewels-8/
