Diamond necklace

by 92 Comments

A diamond necklace adorned me

Awesome, my mirror called me

Overwhelmed in proudness

Enjoyed the envious eyes around me

Until I found two blind eyes staring at me

Was it my own soul, masked under blindness?

    Oh the sparkle of the diamond mars the fact that this is just another ‘material’ that will diminish with time.

    Whoa! This was deep at so many levels 🙂

    Although, it is okay to flaunt it at times…

    Come on, it isn’t criminal to flaunt something and enjoy the attention. Just that one must know that their worth is more than some piece of jewellery.

    Beauty lies in the eyes of beholder. Leave alone a blind person, if i take the same diamond neclace to toddler and an ice cream in other hand, they would chose the later. Perspectives of life – its all about what our hearts desire 🙂

    Soul laughed after a minute,
    And after that every cell in body ,
    Laughed heavily following soul
    Then mind said ” darling,what’s the cost of necklace in heaven”
