If all of Earth was an emerald,

and all stars were diamonds,

and the sun a pot of gold,

and the moon a perfect pearl,

I would gather them up,

away from

the darkness of cold, still space

to bribe the hands of time

or the chance to change the paths

our lives have taken.

I have NOT made a guess, at not officially, remember, plus I am truly ill today. Don't you feel sorry for me (a little something called overactive prostaglandins). Don't worry -- it's a female thing, but it's kicking my derrierre -- actually, not my derrierre, someplace else -- have mercy on me Pleeeeez. Thank you for the compliment. It's easy to write from the heart. I shall stay on top of your tag in between my website work -- shall keep checking up on your answers. Will send you an email later!
