Diamonds on the Drink
oftentimes
throughout my journey
in each phase
the small me
has thought …
you don’t know me
at all
if you knew me
just a little
you wouldn’t
add a tear
to the well within
not a drop
you’d add
you’d think to yourself
no …
i won’t hurt her
no more
she’s been through
enough
instead you would meet me
with laughter and joy
and in that joy
you would bring me
relief
that’s what you did
for me …
i never told you
that
and it’s too late
now
but i’ll say it
anyways
though there was a river
our laughter shook the trees
and the leaves fell
into the rushing wave
and floated
like a diamond
on out to sea
