DIAMOND LIGHT

DIAMOND LIGHT

How can a tear sparkle like a diamond in the absence of light?

The wind chill was all she had left to preserve her honor,

her beauty

enveloped in a cryogenic tomb

left her suspended under the moon

A lone red rose in full bloom

sending her love out to him,

encapsulated in an ethereal aroma

which permeates the midnight winter air.

She used to be able to tell time with precision

through the constant of sidereal visions

But she couldn’t remember when last
his beautiful face she did envision

Long days turned into lonely nights

as their communications had dwindled

made possible only

with transmition of ultrasonic telemetry

she was scared that time was running out…

for it is time that gives our existence legitimacy

She gave up hope in ever seeing his face.

...the longing was just too great

her thoughts, continually lost in space

her days were numbered.

The Misty rose shed her very last tear that night…

As the morning rays emerge over the New Horizon

she looks behind one last time

...a final glimpse into the dark

On the stroke of the 11^th hour

that beautiful lonely flower

sees the sign she had been searching for…

there, inscribed on his frigid Plutonian scarp

A heart

illuminated by that first ray

of light

sent all those years ago

it had finally reached him

She smiles, knowing

there is a conclusion to this undying love story

Diamond ice

Diamond light

Light of my life

Their love will remain suspended forever in time

The line  
"for it is time that gives our existence legitimacy"
is something I heard said in the Movie LUCY
