Diamond Diamond A poem by Dr. Dale Johnsen Cavern dark, black pitch cavern, unaware of light, Crawling, falling, moping, groping, incapable of sight. Creature crying, to self lying, hoping for some meaning, Human sighing, bent on dying in unescapable night. Hover, smother, wound each other, taking, selfish leeching, Indignation, consternation, simple trust was breeching. Soft companion, now abandoned, empty, aching, reaching. Back to groping through the blackness, hoping for new teaching.
Life's an empty, cheating game.
No more wishing, found true meaning, new position, with a mission, From black coal to glistening diamond, living seed to sow. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.
