Lapis Is Your Power Gemstone

Lapis is your power gemstone, the sage crone announces.
It will open your imagination to future projects.
You will no doubt be attracted to her as you wander the Psychic Fair.

Instead of being attracted, I am instantly repulsed by Lapis.
To me she is ugly, plain, dull, not pretty in any stretch of my mind.
Fluorite, topaz, and opals call my name.

I am mesmerized by citrine, rubies and fools’ gold.
Chryrsoprase delights me. I instantly purchase a piece.
Tiptoeing rapidly past the ugly lapis.

Ah, a very instructive poem, Caren. You took us on a fascinating trip on the jewelry side of prism attraction. This poem is artfully done. Love and best wishes for the holiday.
