Russell Sivey Poet Senryu

Black Diamond Night

The night, oppressive 
The darkness reigns within it
Vision falters, dies

Only one form sparkling
Somehow throughout the dark night
Black diamond shines

The harsh pitch black night
Holds this dark diamond shape
And harbors a hope

Black diamond night
A feeling breaches inside
A new stone to show

Russell Sivey

Entrant into Nathan's "Black Diamond Night" contest
