Diamond
The broken bowl
had been a bell till it fell.
The squeaking squeal from the wheel
yields wealth for health
from the well.
A silver cord streams
from the container of dreams.
Drink deep before sleep.
A diamond shines
with the facets of light’s life
in mind.
She smiles for the delight of sight.
Diamonds start as coal;
a source for intense force
realigns carbon, beneath moles;
making the philosopher’s stone
a blown clone for a tome.
Opaque matter, darker than night,
becomes transparent, shining sparkle in light.
Hardship hardens your core for sure
to make your heart shine like the cure.
Performers stay healthy
so their products are wealthy.
The best work smart with rested heart
for the next test to start.
These followed their food.
These chopped what the beaver chewed.
These grew what they could.
These shot from where they stood.
These worked in mines.
These hunted from blinds.
These worked in fields.
These negotiated deals.
These squealed for appeals.
These worked in factories.
These made customers happy.
The redeemer’s redemption came
by correction in detention.
These formed conception with education
to avoid the deception of perception
by the sensation of the senses.
All these weathered the storm;
while these struggled through thorns.
These strengthened their homes
while these burned deceased bones.
The weather is the greatest of friends
or the worst to offend.
We accomplish all things with good weather.
Natural disaster destroys anything, but bling or feathers.
Shine like a crazy diamond.
You won’t feel like a siren
on an island off the horizon.
Ps. 107
Part I Confitemini Domino
1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, *
and his mercy endures for ever.
2 Let all those whom the Lord has redeemed proclaim *
that he redeemed them from the hand of the foe.
3 He gathered them out of the lands; *
from the east and from the west,
from the north and from the south.
4 Some wandered in desert wastes; *
they found no way to a city where they might dwell.
5 They were hungry and thirsty; *
their spirits languished within them.
6 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, *
and he delivered them from their distress.
7 He put their feet on a straight path *
to go to a city where they might dwell.
8 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his mercy *
and the wonders he does for his children.
9 For he satisfies the thirsty *
and fills the hungry with good things.
10 Some sat in darkness and deep gloom, *
bound fast in misery and iron;
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God *
and despised the counsel of the Most High.
12 So he humbled their spirits with hard labor; *
they stumbled, and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, *
and he delivered them from their distress.
14 He led them out of darkness and deep gloom *
and broke their bonds asunder.
15 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his mercy *
and the wonders he does for his children.
16 For he shatters the doors of bronze *
and breaks in two the iron bars.
17 Some were fools and took to rebellious ways; *
they were afflicted because of their sins.
18 They abhorred all manner of food *
and drew near to death's door.
19 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, *
and he delivered them from their distress.
20 He sent forth his word and healed them *
and saved them from the grave.
21 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his mercy *
and the wonders he does for his children.
22 Let them offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving *
and tell of his acts with shouts of joy.
23 Some went down to the sea in ships *
and plied their trade in deep waters;
24 They beheld the works of the Lord *
and his wonders in the deep.
25 Then he spoke, and a stormy wind arose, *
which tossed high the waves of the sea.
26 They mounted up to the heavens and fell back to the depths; *
their hearts melted because of their peril.
27 They reeled and staggered like drunkards *
and were at their wits' end.
28 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, *
and he delivered them from their distress.
29 He stilled the storm to a whisper *
and quieted the waves of the sea.
30 Then were they glad because of the calm, *
and he brought them to the harbor they were bound for.
31 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his mercy *
and the wonders he does for his children.
32 Let them exalt him in the congregation of the people *
and praise him in the council of the elders.
