From afar, they're charming
seas of jade. But close up,
they're just weeds.
Yet there is nothing better
than to be the one who finds
one of the few emerald gems
amongst the common,
moss-covered pebbles.

lol This is true, but sometimes there are still rare pieces of jade amongst the weeds.
Very well written.

True true true... All too true, I love this short piece, I think that you have a great piece here and I'm sure that most of the girls in this whole world would agree.

'seas of Jade' Love the phrasing, very moving. The end is nicely worded to. A different piece but muchly enjoyed.
Thanks for entering,
