Diamonds are the hardest things on earth So beautiful, precious, priceless, crystal clear dulled In darkness or through misuse because tiny flaws Need care awareness that one crack might multiply Sharply serrating across the surface within without Smashing into tiny fragments flying through space Knocking on and on and on other atoms. Polish them regularly with adoration Don't tarnish waste, expend, dull clear stones In light let them sparkle shine cut uncut Take care with patience preen a single one Gently gazing into its depths within without Smashing any tiny fragments flying internally Turning off and off and off destructive Thoughts which might wreck something beautiful.
