Moonlight glistens on new fallen snow

A blanket of diamonds it will show

Sunlight sprinkles the ocean with

Yellow Sapphires and Aquamarine

 

Lush meadows come alive in shades of

Peridot, Garnet and Jade Green

 

A rose is but a Ruby on a slender stem

White fences trimmed with Lilacs reveal an amethyst hem

 

While the sky before a storm

Will turn a moonstone Grey

It can also resemble a fire opal

By the close of day

I appreciate moderate constructive criticism

It’s impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.
