Only you are truly for ever
A luminescent crystal of light
Crushing the energies of the adumbration of darkness
Subtlety is the power of your unyielding might.

Everyone everywhere yearns for you
Show me those who do not
You reflect and glorify the beauty of life
You are truly for ever.

Body so smooth, your heart distinctly hard
The passage of time stands defeated before you
Epideictic for the privileged few
You are truly for ever.

You are the object of greed in the many stories of life
You are the object of passion in some
You are the object of perennial possession for people everywhere
O diamond! You are truly for ever.
