Brilliance

magnetic poles pulling

green Earthen 

grey rock pressing

instant   yet

drifting like John Deere Tractors 

lost in the herd 

slight changes 

brought a dramatic blaming

black holes of shaming

pondering   -   what was it?

some game of psychotic blood lust?

for HIM .... it was straining the

bonds of God and man.

for HER

it was writing poetry.

Diamonds are a long time in the making. Their brilliance is awesome. Their value, out of reach for many. Likewise to produce a poetic diamond, that too is of great value and rare, rare, rare. And love is brilliant too and in its purest form rare, rare, rare. I am reminded that it only takes a minute shift. A small pebble moving, can produce an avalanche. Can change the shape of a mountain. Can destroy the way it looks forever. Dear Mr E, your poem has my mind wandering in many directions. I am unsure of your meaning here, but your words give a spiritual feel about them and a feeling of what will be, will be. And I am still left with the diamonds. They are just as beautiful. They have not lost their shine. Wonderful poetry.

absolutely love your impressions, Chris .. you "get" me ... as Lydi does as well .. it is admittedly pretty abstract .. but what can I say ..;} really appreciate you relating to love in such a way .. spot on says i! spot on!

[Chris Shaw]

You know diamonds can shatter quite easily. And love, well that can shatter too. Pleased to hear that I was near the mark with this one :)

[Einstein Noodle]

yes the can ... and what a tragedy for cutters when such a thing happens .. all their patience and precise taps and angles ... in pieces .. hurts me to think about it. ;)

There are so many avenues to take here. Earth moving for stones and weather shifting our priorities. Challenging times take us to different places. Its hard to dodge the connection of money. Wonderfully creative. Definitely enjoyed this.

Ah, my birthstone and such a wealth of beauty in it. Not exactly a rare stone though. Such a shame what it costs just to mine them though, more than money. Think of all the poetry lost by doing it and changing the landscape and environment. Powerful write!

Opposing forces make up the world. The Ying and Yang that exists in all things. Deep and complex yet direct and simple. Very good.

[Einstein Noodle]

the push and pull of existence. good and evil forces exerting their pressure in opposite. the struggles become our poems as we diamonds in the rough are polished in readiness for eternal life with the creator ... :)
