Diamonds Are Borne Poem by Alla Bozarth

A diamond is borne up to the surface
of Earth from unimaginable depths,
bearing with it the whole astonishing
history of its creation.

Your life is a chance
to drink deep
from the Source Well
and take time to absorb
every possible dropp
of meaning.

Your life is a chance
to go down deep, deep
to that sacred
place where, in pitch
darkness and under
immense pressure,
diamonds are born.
