Rainbow Angel.. Some of my more abstract art
Sacred Jewels
Tell me as I sit here and ponder life’s rules
What is the most sacred of precious jewels?
Which gem of green, yellow and red?
Would you chose to adorn your head
Would it be Ruby- rich and deep?
Or maybe its Topaz yellow you seek
Emeralds and diamonds sparkling lure
Or could it be gold of carat pure
Treasures of wealth mankind doth chase
Trampling over each other –a greedy race
To line one’s pocket with all his fill
He borrows and steals and some even kill
All of the plunder of Earthly Treasure
So some can sit and lap up their pleasure
Tell me as I sit here and ponder life’s rules
What is the most sacred of precious jewels?
Could it be the Cry of a new babe born?
Or maybe it’s the sunrise of tomorrows new dawn
What if the rules were about to be re-written
Whereby all the things man thought important in life
Were swept aside,
Gone
What Strife!
What if tomorrow all you had were gone?
Tell me, how would you feel?
What’s to be done?
I will show you how that must feel
Come with me to the African Fields!!
So tell me as you ponder life’s rules
What is the most sacred of precious jewels?

The most sacred of precious jewels doesn’t come from above,
It comes from within, it comes from love.
We humans bask in it, like a frog on a warm log,
Uncondional love, the sacred gift of the dog.

Lovely poem, Sue. It’s true that so much pain is reaped, or inflicted on others, by those humans who chase after material jewels, when (for me at least) the “most sacred of precious jewels” is referred to by many spiritual traditions and it is the jewel in the heart – the bliss that resides at the core of our being. The jewel in the heart is our true identity; it links us all together in one common energetic existence, so – ironically, perhaps – when we are in touch with the “sacred jewel” we are also in closer resonance with all aspects of the One Life and, therefore, also with those humans who wreak havoc in their lust for material jewels 😉 Love and blessings, Sam 🙂

This makes me think of a Native American saying, “Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish been caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realize that we cannot eat money.” I believe it’s a Cree proverb.
Anyways, I think about this all the time: finding that balance between having enough and too much, and living in a society that values materialism and status over wisdom and “not keeping up with the Joneses.” And it’s easy to fall into that trap – especially for people who have not learned to question and think, but follow and remain in the dark about their own actions.
Wonderful post, sweet Sue!

Wow, good old Vista. I’ve had everyone since XP and skipped Vista because I heard when it came out, people had many problems with it. Did you check if you can download Windows 7 from the internet? That was the best.
I have two computers on Windows 8.1, which at first I hated, now I love it. And then Windows 10 came along late last year. I read about oodles of people, many writers, who downloaded it free (it’s offered as a free download) and it screwed up their computers and had to repair. Then I got a new small laptop for Christmas which came with Windows 10, I wasn’t happy about it, but at least it came with the system on it so I didn’t have to go through wonky downloads. I’m pretty used to it now, but much prefer 8.1. Just some food for your future considerations. 🙂
