These were inspired by the prompt "Jewels and Gems" for a prompt challenge held by @bringonmayhem on Instagram!!
Forgotten Riches (Written 5-4-20)
Jewels and gems
Silver and gold
These are not the riches
you'll remember
as you grow oldPrecious Stones (Written 5-4-20)
Jade that shines in
Every color
Waves of rainbow through
Effervescent opal
Lapis lazuli made
Smooth to glow deep blueAncient life
Nestled within
Dim swirls of amberGlitter and sparkle
Enveloped in focused light
Molded and chiseled to
Shine from every angle
