Gifted Sapphire

Contentment drifted, now tangible in thoughts
Gazing on a precious gem
Velvet blue
Azure waters, a mountains cloak
Many histories took to settle here
Veiled deep horizons
Fractionated depth of sea
Captured colours given by earth
Reminds there is more beauty than ever to see
A sparkle from nature illuminates splendour
A treasure to own for now
The greatest treasure being part
A loving country offering up its heart
