Diamonds

a poem by Dhruv Parekh

In the Dark Black Emptiness
of the Void.
A spark, A Sparkle.
Getting brighter with each passing moment.
Emitting iridescent beauty from within.

And then one more sparkle in the distant corner.
A blue in this, a yellow in another.
The Grand Spectacle of Diamonds in the sky.

Like the birth of a diamond
from the dark black emptiness of the coal mine,
Birth of Stars, Universe, Galaxies
form the Dark Black Emptiness of the Void.

Both Brilliant Shining Sparkling.
And will go on thus.
Till Eternity.

For Diamonds are forever.
