Diamonds in a Stony Field (Full Color)

DIAMONDS
ARE BORNE
A diamond is borne up to the surface
of Earth from unimaginable depths,
bearing with it the whole astonishing
history of its creation.
Your life is a chance
to drink deep
from the source well,
and take time to absorb
every possible drop
of meaning.
Your life is a chance
to go down deep, deep
to that sacred place
where, in pitch darkness,
and under immense pressure,
diamonds are born.
Alla Renée Bozarth
