Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Poet Verse

Aquamarine

aquamarine
lustrous hues where ocean meets sky
aquamarine
earth's horizon, a vibrant sheen
colors brushed with clouds and waves rise
lost in splendor, tears in my eyes
aquamarine

aquamarine
wrapped in sun's illumination
aquamarine
saturated in blues and greens
dancing hues in jubilation  
a vision of God's creation
aquamarine  


* a rondelet (rhymes abaabba)

By Rhonda Johnson-Saunders
