‘She was a diamond’
She was a diamond
A Poem by Coyote Poetry
We need to be thankful when we hold something precious in our hands.
20 Nov. 1994
The drunk man toasted to better days.
We touched shot glasses.
I asked him.
Did he ever see a woman who shone like a diamond?
So bright with hope and love.
She can bring you out of this hell?
My drunk friend just turns away.
I wandered to a safe and quiet corner.
I remember her blue eyes and
they were clear as a mountain stream.
Her flowing auburn hair and
her beautiful smile that still can bring a smile back to me.
She was a baby in living and
I was soil with hate and disappointment.
Today I wonder why she came to me?
In a dark corner of a dancing Bar in Austin, Texas.
She came to me with a sweet smile.
She asks me. Could I two-step a-bit?.
I told her I can do my best.
She talked my ears off.
I listen to her beautiful voice.
She was full of dreams and hope.
We became friends.
She taught me laughter.
Taught me to hope and dreams again.
She was a diamond in a life.
Brought me out of my self-made hell.
I may have taught her to view the world with different eyes.
She stood her ground.
Held on to her dreams.
She is something today.
Educated and helping people.
I wish to stand at a distance.
Her life loaded with real problems now.
I have hope and
a few dreams.
Maybe one day I will look into those blue eyes.
Thank her for her kindness and love.
Women are the reasons for good men to hold on to dreams.
I’m thankful.
I held a diamond in my handand
her hope and love overtook my heart.

Those are the kind of people that show you how beautiful life can be. Sometimes they are only in our lives for a season, but they teach us a lifetime of things. This was beautiful!

You are right. She was trying to save the world and I was trying to save myself. She taught-me. Change my ways or fall to the B.S of life. Thank you for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.
