lakeside

Diamonds sparkle on the water
And emeralds in the grass
Rubies glow with bright formation from the flower mass
Sapphires that gleam with bright blue flame are hung 'cross the sky
With moonstones placed in between as the clouds bright
Topaz of blue makes up the depths
The spider weaves a web of silver.
The porcelain yellow cup lays 'gainst its white saucer
White flower, fallen star
Burst of color
From a seashell
Gleaming on the lake-side shore
Little chips of quartz make up
The sand, less or more.
