Emerald Dreams

23 September 2006


She was the star in my sky
the light if my emerald dreams
Her heart captured in gem
a genuine woman of destiny

Years gone, past lost
future first, man’s hunger
Could it be love
were her eyes on ice

Time demented, frozen even still
this birthstone of Sagittarius
Her name fit for a queen
compassion, passions angel

What works both ways
has a center to beholden too
What comes in the middle
was love, that love in you true


Emerald, is a variety of the mineral beryl, colored green by trace amounts of chromium
and sometimes iron. It is highly prized as a gemstone and by weight is the most valuable
gemstone in the world.

Emeralds come in many shades of green and bluish green. There is a wide spectrum of clarity,
along with various numbers of inclusions. Most emeralds are highly included, so it is quite
rare to find an emerald with only minor inclusions.
