word cut diamond
diamond cut word
I heard an angel say
in a dismal turn
what have they done
with my heart encrusted with pearls
the lily asides
the gilding of the trees;
have they banished light?
word cut diamond
diamond cut word
like a nursery rhyme I never heard
will the clouds part
revealing the Sun
or will we wander on-
intoning to the end
word cut diamond
diamond cut friend
all hearts are cut so
why pretend otherwise whispered the angel,
in a dark disguise;
queried the children out of sight,
light, pure light?
or mind to a tune
they hadn't learned yet, really
pray God, they never will.
