diamonds & religion
sparkling stones plucked from the depths
of the earth
shine like twinkling stars in the dark
night sky
mined & refined, cut & shaped
worn & adorned
rings, necklaces, bracelets & crowns
jewelry, symbols
of wealth & authority, beauty & strength
love & fidelity
mystical & physical, forever
everlasting
science & reason proclaim the mineral
is only carbon derived
from dead plants & animals,
twig & leaf, flesh & bone
liquefied, solidified, pressurized
& crystallized
before the dawn of time
& then
granted power beyond the nature
of its existence
a god created by man
in his own image & essence
out of need or simple greed
or both
truth found somewhere
between
stardust & dreams
