Born of the earth
from a million years of darkness.
Exposed to the light
dull, formless.

Taken, shaped, cut, polished
into a treasured gift.
Desired, wanted, craved.
Priceless...

Such is the stone that smiles are
brought from.
This carat weight jewel.

A diamond...
Born of the earth’s weight.
A hardness that softens
one’s heart...sways love.
Creates love..
Priceless...

Hello Barry

There is something else that I believe is priceless.........your words!

I hope you are well.

Take care.....Sue

Methinks there is much twinkling in the eye of the beholder of this diamond.

A precious poetic jewel.
