Diamond

Contributed by TheSchroedmeister on Saturday, 20th December 2003 @ 01:46:46 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



Be it grave, be it fair,
That the diamond is there
Unseen,
That the crucible of humility,
Of living,
Can yield such wonders

The world might say,
"Here, for you"
As it presents the treasure

But far in coming,
Patience
The diamond hums,
Heard around the corner
As the gauntlet ensues

But the reward!

So walls are scaled
In its name,
Races are won
Just the same,
And as we cross the line,
I wonder

What is worse for the seeker;
That it will yet shine,
Or that it is not?

th poem is well crafted
but I do not understand it...
the fault is most likely mine .. but
a question for you
Does a poem make clear
or obscure???
