Trading on The Silk Road


Trading on The Silk Road

  

Rich purple amethysts smile warmly to one another,

Vivid green emeralds wink mysteriously in the moonlight,

Radiant clear diamonds glint like disco balls spinning in time.





Electric blue sapphires giggle as they are passed to new owners,

Stunning white ivory squeals frantically as it is sculpted,

Bold green jade dance like Gods to their own music.





Glowing gold coins sleep peacefully in bamboo cradles,

Scarlet red rubies show no emotion as they are roughly handled,

Soft cream silk flows like running water in trader’s hands.
