Madame, here is where I've taken this to as I was telling you about.

Emeralds In The Dark

The sun finally sets on a journey well worn
Closure to footprints imbedded in it's path
No longer will they engrave the grounds of this life
But, the evidence of my presence shall last...

Oh, I was there, really there, with an honest pace
So true to heart I saw freedoms face
Still blue locked it's doors to any signs of peace
So, it's your turn to fly so I'm taking me...

And, I'm going inside myself where I so belong
Where I've asked God for emeralds in the dark
I never knew I could run this fast, my friend
But, I'd rather the green then this blue in my heart...

When the whole world's down with night glued to their sides
I'll still be awake and in the middle of this empty cry
Because, I was there, really there, but with you
May through my absence you'll find emeralds, too...

You'll never have to know those shades if my walk ends
So, that's why I can run, and so fast, my friend
For, when I'm granted green only beauty is seen
And, you'll understand what my path to away really means...

Cause, it's for you, all for you, where rivers never run dry
You'll never know the rains again through my eyes
For it's those greens that nature plaques us all with
That'll find a new shade for you like a summer's kiss...

So, until I meet up with you once more someday
May you fly higher then ever while I am away
You'll never hold my blue if we are apart
Oh, but, we can share those emeralds in the dark...

You'll be there on the edge of me of where I sleep
Right where the blue and the green then meet
Just sipping what once was that's now gone
Just don't let me go for too long...

Madame Chipmunk and her emeralds have led you to a pretty piece...perhaps I should break out my emeralds, as well!   Nice job!

Beautiful Saunni, and it is wonderful to read through your eyes once more.  I think you have inspired me to speak of my "emerald" friend.


Nothing means more to me than faith,
family and my friends.

Saunni,
I agree with the consensus, this piece definitely shines like emeralds.
