Beauty's Clarity Gem

Soothing as the waters – quiet and serene -

I am mermaids’ treasure from the sea.

Foamy green or light sky blue, 

I am aquamarine.

Touch me to your skin and within, 

find wisdom, youth and fidelity.

Let me embrace you with beauty’s clarity.

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 10/26/2016 10:48:00 AM Aha, so this comes from one of my favorite people and poets. This flows so beautifully and I love the way you describe the gem as a mermaids' treasure. I cannot promise an aquamarine (I just gave a collection of them to a child who nearly died), but I will definitely send you a blue gemstone in the color of the sea. Congratulations!
