There’s a diamond in the sand. <br />Cox’s Bezer, Bangledesh <br />There’s a diamond in the sand. <br />Steadily pacing back and forth <br />Searching, looking to retrieve that diamond <br />But the sand is too plentiful. <br />The sand won’t subside it won’t move out of the way <br />Only way for it to move is if I shovel it <br />But without a pail I’ll just be making the other side higher <br />So much sand, so far to walk. <br />But wait, something shiny, running to grab it. <br />But the tide rushes in waters pummel the shine. <br />Only way is to dig. Dig, dig, dig, sharp pain, <br />It was merely glass sand that cannot go back <br />Again pacing the sun beams and the sand overheats <br />Into more glass, <br />Stumbling from cuts and wounds, but, <br />There’s a diamond in the sand. <br />Day in and night out, looking for the diamond <br />Is it worth it all the pain and grief? <br />Pacing back and forth, back and forth. <br />Finally the diamond finally! ! ! ! <br />………….But it’s plastic. <br />Wait…There’s another diamond in the sand.<br /><br />Corey Threet<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/diamond-c-8-28-09/
