A tattered cloth, which glistens gold

One key that locks, the tales untold

The topaz gem, with mystical powers

Keeps them guessing through the hours

That secrets, hidden, deep inside

On pages, yellowed, cracked and dried

Lets imaginations run wild with thoughts

Though they dare not speak, or else get caught

By what was kept by those before

Whose names are spoken, nevermore

I feel the leaves against my skin

They fall, and swirl, and fall again

Across the meadow, and in between

The most beautiful things I’ve ever seen

Still, they sadden me, when they fall

Where they once held their grandeur, tall

Upon the trees, now bare of them

The ground, soon owns these colored gems

And paints the landscape, bright and bold

A palette of orange, red and gold

With this, I find the need to smile

So I’ll stay, and watch them dance awhile

What is that, my little friend?

Does it shine within the light?

Why it’s a gem of brilliance

Sparkling, pure and bright

Just like the ones around me

I will add this to my treasure

And add you, too, yes indeed

That surely is my pleasure

You’ll collect the finest baubles

Ones scattered through the land

And I will keep them, here with me

Just like I’ve always planned

Sometimes I lie awake at night
Wondering what tomorrow brings
Silver linings in the clouds
Sunrise made of golden rings

Trees that glisten emerald
Like gems against the sky
Flora dressed in sapphire and ruby
So much grace before my eyes

Silent waters crystal shine
Reflecting off the land
Prismatic shadows dance about
Their colors softly fanned

These beautiful adornments
No bracelet, brooch nor ring
Can ever match the splendid glory
Mother Nature always brings

Cast your eyes upon these stones
Their brilliance sparks a flame
There can be no price upon these jewels
Their cost to grand to name

The Sun flickers Gold

Each Leaf glints Emerald Green

Two Gems Enkindled
