Walter "Joe" Otto, Long Island, NY
Diamonds created from an uncut stone
buried within the earth’s surface,
once found they are cut and shaped
with facets of purity
Rare is the Diamond that sparkles
with a magnitude of brilliance,
catches a sad eye for clarity
with hues that glow - blinding
Diamonds fill the heart - the purest
of love is given as the soul surrounds
its glowing depth bringing a moment
of silence to the heart that feels
Rare is the substance that one takes
for granted, purity and love may be
shared as the Diamond opens a heart
to the facets of life as
gifts of love -
surround the lonely heart
