Turquoise Brings Me Joy

Turquoise and aquamarine uplifts me
whether in a swimming pool liner
a new sundress, a polka dotted ribbon on a hat
or a gemstone.

This hue is mystically magical in my soul’s mind.
She inspires my imagination to play and frolic.
She brings me the Hawaiian ocean.
I see white sand without foot prints.

She is more popular with me than diamonds.
Thus, I traded my wedding ring for
A gorgeous blue topaz pear on a beautiful opal band
The wedding ring with a diamond is somewhere…..

When the light hits my turquoise ring,
there are moonbeams and sunbeams
Reminding me of 1957 Chevy, and a gorgeous prom dress
I wore as a senior. She replenishes and refreshes me.

Turquoises or aquamarine are as much a Gemini color
As purple, silver or green; in my case, more uplifting
than diamonds, jade, or amethyst.
I adore the joy this color brings me.

Hmmm. Turquoise is my birthstone (December). But, I love shades of green. I wear a peridot in my ear. And, no, I don't care what anyone thinks. It brings me good vibes! My fundamentalist Baptist preacher brother has quit hounding me about it, too. Thank, goodness!

I am going to have to look up the properties of peridot now.
