The fall of fire
Speckles every twilight
With swirling, sparkling stars,
Golden diamonds twinkling in the sky.
It lights up the ground and leaves the land
Rich as black onyx with hidden silver veins.
The fall of rain
Paints every surface
With a glassy, glossy glaze,
That grows into a coat of imperial jade.
It raises topaz towers anointed with emerald
With the ease of a sweet spring's susurrus.
The fall of sunlight
Blesses every shadow
With an effervescent efflorescence
Of opal and amethyst, ruby and sapphire.
It bestows a lustrous brilliance on the Earth,
More precious than a world of gems and jewels.
