Ancient earrings to celebrate the birthday of a precious daughter


what color are her eyes,
blue and green, grey
changing shades throughout the day
variable, beautiful like Roman glass
blue mottled with green

and grey, copper mixed with iron,
manganese, cobalt and Egyptian blue.
from ancient times,  days spent in

exploration, science, thinking and doing,
nights of dancing, drinking and laughing
she still does this, this young woman
with the blue/green/grey eyes

that sparkle mysteriously
like Roman glass
