Six Gemstones: (August,2015) Poem by DM W
Six Gemstones: (August,2015)
Six gemstones to cherish in a cynical world:
One a streaky, blue - green miniature globe
That radiates with all forms of teeming life;
One pure white: a gift of innocence and wonder;
To clutch tightly during pitch- black, starless nights;
One fiery orange that contains within it
The power and innumerable secrets of the sun;
Another, as blood red as a rose, that courses
Through Nature's veins like summer's wine;
And two golden ones left, to burnish the eyes of a sphinx.

Thanks guys...this is an old poem that I've reworked slightly. It was composed on a poetry retreat several years ago as part of a creative writing exercise.
