Diamond Birthed Day

Diamond dawn softened cold, clinical walls, smoothing harsh lines, soothing the sleepless with the lullaby of love. Blossom-pastel hues sparkled with crystals of dew, glimmering prisms of diamond-cut light in the month of showers and flowering bowers. Red and yellow daisies studded dark soil like gemstones tumbled beneath the flower of the sun. Sweet peas twined a bright trellis of light, clinging like a baby's fist, curling round sunbeams, climbing a golden ladder of sunlight. Crystalline morning softly stroked your face, a sleeping jewel, gently polished by the early light of a late April sunrise.
dedicated to my little 'sweet pea' Jake, born 28th April 2009

    You are so lucky to have the Diamond as a stone! There are many people out the extremely jealous I'm sure! My stone is the Ruby and I really like that, beautiful red color! Your poem is smooth and reflects great skill! I enjoyed reading your write this morning! Oh and I didn't miss your flowers as well! Red and yellow daisies, here again you are lucky! I wonder why they favor April so much?! You wrote a great poem Charlotte! Awesome Work!!

    this was written using jake's birthstone and flowers (my own stone is sapphire) and he is definitely a diamond AND a sweet pea :-)
