Serendipity in the syncopations that stir my soul
I rise stronger, unexpected,
Like a dove from labber-strewn ashes
Ebullient, electric, esoteric
No longer acquiescent and dutiful
Call me Hellion of Troy, if you will
Electuary quiet now fills me

Volcanic, Verdant, and Very You
Let’s get one thing straight: Peridot isn’t just a gemstone. It’s a whole mood. The color of envy, abundance, grass-stained knees, summer’s last laugh, and the green spark of magic that lives under your skin when no one’s looking. Which makes it a perfect prompt for August - that bittersweet threshold between peak heat and first harvest, where we start turning inward while still dripping with sweat and sunscreen.
