"TRANSPARENT"

Well here I be
A big screen in front of me
What thoughts do I possess--
Should I even share? Here goes:
I see a diamond so clear,
It is in midair, as it is
Wondering how it got there,
What should it do now?
It is indeed a diamond
Of the first water--
So transparent, it blends
With the clear sky.
But, along comes a soul
And sees the image--
Grasping it so tenderly,
Knowing fully its worth.
The diamond now is aware
It cannot enjoy its space
And helplessly is contained
In the soul's greed.
