Sapphire

The azure gem of the world Delicate, sparkling, teeming with life Colors unfold within Vast forests and gardens And when the day ends, and the amber orb spreads a fire Across the surface… before fading to darkness Beautiful, as far as the eye can see

Multitudes of creatures call it home They live in harmony Keeping everything in balance

But stones can deteriorate We are turning it dark The shining sapphire is at our mercy It cannot sustain itself with our wrath

Do not let it erode Take care of it So that we may still enjoy its majesty Or else the world will no longer Be the same It will end
