Natural Gemstones of Life

Earth’s natural gemstones thunder down Miriards of multi sized scattered diamonds tumbling trained jewels, beads, roll down roof glazing Tiny shards of light begin to bounce, dance and reflect magnificantly At first twinkles of days sunlight peep from behind storm clouds Enters sunrise, day breaks Vast darkness of night-times tears quickly disperse evaporating to the brighter warmer climate Nature’s tears are quickly dried Outside still few mirrors remain reflecting the skies and beauty Besides these little basins of wonder patchy shadowed pavements still damp retract As temperatures rise I recollect musing over shrinage of moisture Just as the tides retrace their steps back to the oceans But who ever sees their journey thereafter The cycle of life continues whether we notice or not So every droplet wasted counts As climates change so must we Earth and sea compositions alter It’s down to us to make a difference To help preserve and protect the living species and precious commodities we need for every day living before these treasures are lost, gone from our world altogether Richer or poorer are we crumbling our planet At the cost of bling we run down waste holes Or leave to trail the land around us Are we throwing our futures away Should we not be evaluating the cost of new things precious The waters of life, catch them if you can Earths natural gemstones thunder down

Climate changes are natural occurrences and all species have to adapt or face extinction. Mankind is no different. I pray we see the importance of this message before our planet crumbles. You have posted some outstanding poetry today, Anna-Marie, and I'm so glad to see you writing and sharing with us again. Love, Carolyn
