From The Old English Root Word Brūn & Greek Word Phryne - The Color Brown Poem by Curtis Keith Barker

Brūn - The Color Brown

In the tapestry of Earth's vast design,
Where history's chapters intertwine,
A color rich, in hues profound,
Is the noble brown, by nature's hand.

Brown topaz, with its fiery dance,
In golden brilliance, it does enhance,
Hints of red and orange's embrace,
In this gem's beauty, we find our grace.

Fire agate, rare and wondrous prize,
Translucent whispers of fiery skies,
Reflecting reds, and yellows bold,
A gem of value, more precious than gold.

Smoky quartz, with its smoldering gaze,
Born of Earth's natural, radiant blaze,
From colorless crystal, it takes its cue,
In shades of brown, it holds the view.

Brown diamond, a healing gem's embrace,
With hues of brown, a tender grace,
Nickel's impurities, lattice's flaw,
In its depths, nature's art we draw.

Citrine, in yellow and orange array,
A quartz variety, where colors sway,
Abundant in Earth's vast embrace,
It shines with warmth, in every place.

Tiger's eye, with a watchful stare,
Brown tourmaline, in the Earth's care,
Brown zircon's glimmer, a gem's delight,
Mahogany obsidian, dark as night.

Chocolate opal, a sweet confection,
In shades of brown, a rare reflection,
Umber brown and burnt sienna's embrace,
In art's palette, they find their place.

And let us not forget, in history's scroll,
The importance of brown in human soul,
In skin and pigment, art's foundation laid,
In shades of brown, our stories portrayed.

So, in the world's grand historical gown,
We celebrate the color brown,
In gemstones rare and art's array,
Brown's beauty shines in endless day.
