A Diamond
A Diamond
you are,
thin as a whisper,
a summer breeze that bleeds
into the night's stillness, I am, as you..
tough, invincible perhaps!
(as is all folly)
the young, the reckless, the air and fire
of this world, humble, arrogant, all-
insignificant,
buried you are, no matter how sharp
the blade,
this warrior's sword
kicking up dust in the eternal battle, this prison
of sand, of beaches and sunsets, the glory of night,
sweet kisses of love and death..
within an hour glass of war, a body of work,
unfinished and unread- this life, buried
by time, and much stronger than I,
you are
A Diamond
