Nature

Sapphires gleam
On the banks of the spring.
Where rubies dwell,
And emeralds sing.
Where aquamarines flow
With the cool lonely bank.
And diamonds ride
The cool steady breeze
Across the endless turquoise.
Where garnets grow
On the bare, empty topaz.
And amethyst peek up
From a steady field
Of peridots.
Within the bank
The alexandrite perks up,
Wild and bright.
The wild jade that covers the hill
Stays so steady and still.
Just as the lapis's day begins,
The blank obsidian
Rises again.
