Diamonds and Dust
Every Diamond has a flaw.
If you choose to chip at the crack,
all you are left is dust.
Ask yourself
would you rather dwell in dust,
or celebrate the way that the light plays
amongst the shards, in infinite ways,
refracted and gleaming,
uniquely glinting as no other may play.
Or, dwell upon the crack,
and watch it all blow away.
