Shrimp-pink elegance,
Curved and slender in the sun,
Beaks bobbing for fish.
Fun fact: Flamingos are surprisingly lightweight. Their hollow bones keep them at 4-8 pounds, which makes them one of the fastest birds, clocking more than 50 miles per hour. And that vibrant pink color? It comes from their diet of shrimp, algae, and other icky slimy things.

The Sturgeon Moon
Sacred waters dance,
Brimming with shimmering fins,
Nourishing our souls.

The Spirit of Peridot
Twinkling stars in the midnight sky,
Whisper secrets from heaven’s gate.
Moonlight glistens on blades of grass,
Captivating vibrant green lusciousness.
Sturdy as volcanic rock, deep in Earth’s mantle,
Billions of years quelling anger, fostering peace.
Cascading abundance to believers,
Spirit of verdant grace, sprinkle olivine dust.
Melting hearts of iron,
Peridot’s spirit lights the path.
Transforming souls one by one,
Guiding through love’s open door.
Freeing us from this mortal world,
The Spirit of the Peridot.
Streets made of silver and gold,
A place to cherish and adore.
