diamond cut

diamonds only have worth because so few exist
worn down over time

nothing beautiful happens over night
not the whores in the magazines
that isn't beauty
that is taking sex and turning it into an ad
that is perverting reality
that is
cheap

no. beauty takes time.

look at this river along with it's nameless canyon
no its not the grand canyon
but it is grand none the less
a relentless map of floods and droughts etched upon the walls
continuously changing
never the same
but always beautiful
although separate in nature
they are nothing without each other
the waters may flood
the walls may crumble
it's beauty remains defiant

you are a gem.
