Diamonds
The sun glistens on the water
pushed forward by the front of the boat
like a thousand shining diamonds.
On gloomier mornings I could not see them,
but today they dazzle my eyes
and astound me with their luminous beauty.
You could pay millions for the finest stones
set in the most precious metals,
yet they could never show the living light
of these diamonds dancing on the river.
I couldn't have seen these gems before.
When my heart was heavy and mind was hard
nature's heaven had remained hidden;
I had to clean my eyes, and then I could find
these diamonds on the river.
