Under Pressure

To make a superb drink that is unique, grapes must be crushed to make wine.
It makes the meal even tastier when friends and family together dine.
To obtain the sparkle and brilliance, diamonds form under tons of tremendous pressure.
Success cannot be obtained without turmoil, loss, or trials in obtaining a life of leisure.
Olives are pressed to release their oil. 
In order to reach a destination, there must be a certain amount of effort and toil.
Seeds germinate in darkness before their flower and their fruit reaches out to the light.
Whenever you feel crushed, under pressure, pressed or in darkness, you are in a powerful place of transformation coming into sight.

Once the stillness comes into your life, the mind also becomes solemnly still.
When your mind becomes still your intelligence explodes finding unknown secrets from within that move my quill.

Wayne are you telling me that I am like a grape, an olive, a lump of coal or a seed? Ahh no, your analogy is first class. It takes a bit of pressure for everything to turn out right. Don't buckle under the pressure and the darkness, evolve out of it better than you were before. I get it !! You have brilliant mind Wayne with such positive thought, Well done on this super poem.
