Scottish Garden of Verse

SHIMMERING SCOTLAND
by Lynne Remick

Scotland is…
A treasure chest full of God's precious gems.

Landscaped with green tourmaline
And rolling emerald hills
Wetted with rough, moonstone seas
Littered with bright opal stars in its skies.

Muddied with the brown
Of dark, hermatite caves
Dabbed with castles of spodumene grey
Streaked with the violet sapphire foxglove's sway
And blackened from the rage of battles
With warriors bearing envy
The color of jade

Painted with strokes of gold in its wheat
And purple amethyst in its heather
Among fields that bear traces
Of garnet red blood
Spilled by her beloved children
