SAPPHIRE

The soft, sweet tones of a blue desire

Soar, and dive, and rise.

Her hair aflame - an ambered fire,

She cannot fly, but she tries.

Glistening and sparkling

She adorns the open sea.

"If not a star - a seastar I'll be!"

Earth and Ocean joining in hand to hand

The perfect unison of water and land.
