The Sapphire

The Sapphire

Could I but turn a sapphire inside out,
And walk beneath its night blue skies,
Lighted only by diamonds set therein.
I would find it dull as the gray of twilight,
Compared to my fall into your phalo eyes.

I have now read this at least 5 times and find myself more amazed at this gorgeous poem each time. Wow my friend, this is so beautiful and just the thought of turning a sapphire inside out and it still doesn't compare to the beauty you see. Wow again. Loved this.

I don't know how it happened, but I accidentally put my answer to you under Tim Smith's post. I said "thank you, Lynn, and thank you for the fave and 7. I am flattered."
