Unearth

See a rough diamond
still embedded
in debris parent earth.

Chance rays of light
shining show promise
lying locked therein.

When washed diamond
is held in affirmed
revealing white sunlight.

But rough diamond
while unearthed
was never cut hidden

from morning light
for a jeweled
alluring counterpoise.

View as talisman amulet
orb commanding status
sphere of enlightenment.
