My Saraswati Moonstone Rev

When I first joined Gather I was given two comments for this. I treasured each one of those points as part of my first ten Gather points. A milestone that I had set on day one.

Now I've revised it and am posting it again.

 O barren banks of the Saraswati
Those dry shores that once spawned life
Where sacred water lavished glory
On ancient cities now forgot

There I found you Moonstone
You who taught me ancient truths
O gem filled with veils and mists
And colours that had tales to tell

You showed cupped darkly in my hands
You just lay there dull and sombre
Trapped in my grasp your heart went cold
Your singing voice had lost its chord

Then when I held you high above
To feel the glow of the morning sun
I saw your veils of blue and green
As they danced and swayed in pure delight

But in the moonlight you found your soul
Your veils enchanted and seduced
While coyly you did hide your face
I knew your kiss was near at hand

Moonstone great and ancient teacher
You showed me how to set you free
You whispered to me give you light
For then you'd dance into my heart
