A diamond slipped out of its mounting today. <br />A diamond surrendered and quit its ring. <br />It washed away through a drain <br />and traveled elsewhere. <br /> <br />Mother falls to her knees <br />deep within her quiet grave <br />and cradles her long lost son. <br />Serenity is begun. <br /> <br />When the circle falters <br />neither gold nor silver <br />nor platinum <br />can contain a diamond-star. <br /> <br />We sky-gaze from afar <br />and pretend to understand. <br /> <br />©2014 All rights reserved<br /><br />Michelle Claus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-robin-williams-whose-creative-mind-i-admired/
