Lead my soul to immortality, I ask the stone- Ancient Egypt favored this beautiful blue gem, so powerful, spiritual and serene. It is said to inspire the spoken word and creativity and, souls of the God's dwell within (so it is said). Lapis Lazuli encourages me to take a spiritual journey, and promises to end my suffering and bring me, Zion bliss, and eternal love- Uniting and bonding, the meshing of souls. Let me not fear honesty, compassion and love, in the end, internal healing will be mine. Great the power of this gem to dissolve emotional bondage, ending pain and promoting deep inner forgiveness, oh so multidimensional is this lovely gem of blue- ____________________ October 16, 2016 Acrostic For the contest, A Gem for Your Verse sponsor, Carolyn Devonshire (I love Pink Quartz, also) Third Place

Beautifully done, Constance!! It flows smoothly, and only at the end did I realize this was an acrostic. I expect to see this on the winners' list. ~ Regards // paul
