A Sparkle Blue

A sparkle blue
    To tease the eye
A diamond facet gleams

Yet, is my diamond blue
             As that is how it seems

Now yellow flirts
     The facet turns
A different hue is cast

So, is my bauble yellow
            Perhaps, yet not to fast

A tint of pink
      Escapes the stone
Reflection perseveres

Now, is my treasure pink
              My thinking interferes

A gem of many sides
Diversifies its shine
Am I not the sum of parts
               Not just one to define
