DIAMOND LIGHT
The rock
washed down the river
tossed scraped evaporated
birds find landing in the movement
swept by fierce entanglement
caught by locked in nooks crannies
it changes elements to flee fire
soaks water for replenished improvement
seasons unpleasant toss and roll
moss takes up home a new growth
pending stability seeks the green of earth
wedging a well worn fixed energy
rain hail shine gives it extra tints
a blanket devours it's hidden shine
it sways with new circumstance
desert cleansing dries green to wither
no rhyme in this rock
blind journeys keep it moving
stripe streams give it new life
crumbling shape shifting strife
weather of strife leaves
gentle water dreams
calmness shatters wastage
a past gravitation drops needs
moss a non needed past toss
dissolving far gone reasons
pulsations anew take up new life
new dawns awakened new seasons
rhymes arrive show well worn gravity
soothe this rock on wave
crackings chipped in past falls
shed a past tense slave
journey to the core
takes the highs and falls
eventually showing inside
the glisten of an awe
a rock will come and go
reach for known insight
kicked tainted broken down
just to find it's ...

I really love this....I am envisioning all the "weathering" that a rock takes over the course of its' existence and it is so much like of the life experiences that humans go through from birth to death when you think about it. All sorts of adversity as well as good things happen too that bend and shape and form a person's beliefs and personality and soul. Life can turn a person into a loved filled person and make their souls shine like a diamond too...or it can seem to wear a person down, making them feel worn out and discouraged; but these people often persevere just like the rocks, they keep going with the tide of where their life experiences take them, and they can create their life in whatever way they wish, or they can be swept downstream and crash on the "rocks" in life...there is no predicting, only to continue on battered but not completely broken, to rise up and shine despite all the experiences that have born down on them....
