The poem, titled “Eternal Gemstones of Sacred Words Illuminating and Transforming the Soul Through Holy Scriptures”, reveres the profound wisdom and transformative power of holy scripture. Its four stanzas portray scriptural words as radiant gemstones—sapphires, emeralds, rubies, diamonds, amethysts, opals, pearls, topaz, and jade—symbolizing divine qualities like courage, truth, mercy, peace, and enlightenment. With an ABAB rhyme scheme, the poem uses vivid imagery to present scripture as an eternal treasure that illuminates and guides the soul through challenges to spiritual triumph. The title encapsulates this reverence, emphasizing the enduring, transformative impact of sacred words on the soul.

There is a gleaming gemstone in every word of scripture,
Each syllable a facet, cut by divine design.
In whispers of the prophets, sapphires softly flicker,
In psalms of ancient longing, emeralds intertwine.

Rubies pulse with courage where martyrs’ voices thunder,
Diamonds carve the silence when truth begins to shine.
From Torah’s sacred scroll to Gita’s mystic wonder,
Each phrase a priceless treasure, eternal and divine.
