Buried deep under the earths crust
in a student apartment
a diamond lies awake.
Can't see its own beauty
in its native darkness.
Can only feel
its acute corners
and sharp edges.
But once in a while
a candle comes to visit
and its enchanting
bright red flame
gets reflected
and mirrored
on every surface.
And in the candles light
the diamond feels beautiful.
