RHOMBUS

Ossified through ridicule till
self doubt and pity imploded.
circuits overloaded.

Quelling storms
broadening horizons
beyond the point of summarizing.
Quarrels past broken glass reconfigured
still translucent.

Fusion made above the grade
as sharp as any polished blade.
IF all it takes is pressure and time
this rock can be a diamond forever,
sublime eternally Divine.

A prism refracting light for all that might admire.

You got the gigs just right here. I loved how this one spells out alot and the image of the fractured glass very interesting. This one fits well in the scheme of things today. A good right my friend, missed ya a couple of days here. Did you intend to cap the word IF?? As if it matters or not it was a good one. I related. Love,Mona

Zigs, not sure what happened but I did comment on this just after you posted it...but alas, I can't see it here anymore. I'll try to remember what I said. As usual you've managed to create an image, one so vivid and real that it feels like me, the reader, am with you right there at that moment. Did you change the last line?...I was sure it was different when I read it the other day? Anyway, this is a mighty poem by you my friend and spotlight is well deserved and this sits at the top end of your writing...superb. regards, HS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "With all that I am and all that I could be, I walk this earth and yet nobody sees me".
