Written for the January words Pleiades contest sponsored by Andrea Dietrich. Garnet~ my birthstone...

Glimmers of rose petals Glisten on the skyline, Gold, glittered with deep red~ Gloaming gems, mirroring Gossamer silk of stars, Gliding across a love- Glazed garden of yearning.

My birthstone is peridot (ugh), kind of a funky green. I like garnet, and your Pleiades. My wife looks good in rubies with her ebony hair

Dearest Inky, not sure when your birthday is but sending you birthday wishes! Your poetry gleams like the ruby glow in the depth of the garnet! Your images always sparkle like a gemstone with your totally and very unique poetic voice! Best wishes for the contest! Also, got behind preparing for Christmas and I am most remiss in not wishing you a Merry Christmas, dearest friend. Sending you blessings of celebration and joy for the Christmas season and the new year! Samzy~

Beautiful vision; always remember that lovely place in time, for the heart to return and share. Great comfort in those later years when travel is no longer an option.
