Notes About The Poem

August 2023 - ETYMOLOGY - The meaning of your name Poetry Contest - Sponsered by: Suzette Richards
 Beryl is a healing crystal that comes in many colours, each with its own unique benefits.

 

 

Semiprecious Gemstone

I am the gem that’s as green as the sea
said to be symbolic of purity
I maybe pure as sparkling crystalline
clear to peer through if one should intertwine.

Also found in blue, yellow, pink and red
with sacred properties the bible said
Able to ease pain and anxiety
peace will surround someone if wearing me.

Wear me on a fine chain around your neck 
or on your wrist in a lovely bracelet
Wear me anyway that you would care to 
there is no one else to please, only you.

Shade of wheels in Ezekiel's vision
and the twinkling of starlight emission.
