I woke to a sea of diamonds
On a dark velvet veil
Their beauty was a sight to behold
Because each glistening diamond
Is a story of passion
A tale just begging to be told
I woke to a sea of diamonds
On a dark velvet veil
Their brilliance was unabating
Because each glistening diamond
Is a beckoning siren
And each song truly captivating
I woke to a sea of diamonds
On a dark velvet veil
Each shimmer, a memory I'll keep
Because each glistening diamond
Is a warm woolen blanket
As I finally drift back to sleep

P.S: Salt Lake Speaks was a poetry event I participated in in September 2025. I am posting the poems I read as I may have made minor changes and corrections to the original poem. Original here.
