Water Crystals
A Poem
By PAULINE MINTER
Read Time: 0 minute
A soft breeze touches my cheek
Gentle roar of dancing water
Flows irresistibly to the seaThe sun filters through the trees
Turning hanging water droplets
Into tiny glowing crystalsTwo of them wondrously
Turn to sapphires as I draw closer
I catch an amethyst, an emerald
Gentle roar of dancing water
Flows irresistibly to the seaThe sun filters through the trees
Turning hanging water droplets
Into tiny glowing crystalsTwo of them wondrously
Turn to sapphires as I draw closer
I catch an amethyst, an emerald
Then a perfect reflection of
The golden sun in heated glow
Reminding me of John’s vision
The crystal blue around God’s throne
Only the glowing beams of the sun
Bring these water gems to life
And the same loving Creator gives
The water of life freely so we may
Reflect a tiny fragment of His glory
