D - Diamonds and what matters #atozchallenge

Here is a poem for D- the first word that struck my creative chord was diamond. (Of course I was listening to Paul Simon... See W day from 2015, http://spokenfingers.blogspot.com/2015/04/w-wonder-have-wish-to-know-something-be.html )

Diamonds on the soles of my shoes

magnetic fuel of grateful beauty

I walk atop that which is valued most

by those who estimate me the least.

A rock so hard, by many

is treated like fragile glass

my heart hardens under

the pressure of their eyes

but on my soles, I walk

with my softer brilliance

wrapped around my fingers

J

J to me a hook I find

like I've hooked your heart 

in kind

but as they say with rescued pets

who has usurped who?

In voice, a Blue Jay is there

solid and perfect no matter where

we could take a message from nature,

I see

God made us exactly as we should be.

A pirate, a whimsical story

to my children thats J in its glory

memories of mommy or daddy 

reading

with imagination, nothing superseding.

J is just a letter

could start a word for hate or better

a simple alphabet could build the world

in words

or tear it down with ill intention.

Just joy.
