Mere Carbon

spilleronsheet

Neither a coal to leave a dark impression 

to fuel the inside 

Nor a diamond to sparkle on finger 

 

nothing but a sack of carbon 

Wonder this composition of carbon with so much around 

sparkles the diamond one day 

a mere carbon, I must say….

  • Caring dove

    Makes me think of emptiness … atleast that’s my thoughts whilst reading this poem … that feeling of emptiness we get , when we just want to feel so much more

    A nice writing )

    • spilleronsheet

      Thank you so much rose
      Maybe carbon is empty
      Maybe it can encompass so much more
      It’s fascinating how the element of carbon behaves
      Sure emptiness is a way that many a soul feels a nowadays

      • Caring dove

        I certainly can feel that way , sorry your feeling sad … emptiness can be filled sometimes , I guess … with nice feelings , maybe like that diamond you mention

        • spilleronsheet

          Eventually it will be filled
          I guess time is a great healer

          It's what we are, carbon and water. Oh and there's that spirit thing too. But what an incredible thing carbon is.... we are stardust.

          A thought provoking piece spiller.

          • spilleronsheet

            Sure carbon is a wonderful thing
            We born carbon and one day we settle as carbon

            Dear spiller !!
            You brought the base of Diamond, Carbon. Every carbon does not turn to be a diamond. Carbon in high stress and heat turns out a diamond.
            Same way....let the carbon of you turn to be diamond !! its time now, you have taken the heat and stress !! You are turning a diamond soon...:)

            • spilleronsheet

              Thank you so much dear Vamsi
              Yes I don’t mind being a coal too nevertheless being a diamond is a great deal
              Maybe yes heat and stres taken enough
              Now it’s time to enter the arena and beat the carbons around
              Conquer as a carbon one day
              Lol
              I got too much into chemistry

            • Lorna

              And we can burn carbon! Makes a wonderful barbeque...... who needs thee diamonds..... let's be useful and burn for heat!

              • spilleronsheet

                So true
                That’s how versatile carbon is
                In or out
                Within or in others
                Use it to burn it
                Use it to shine
                Or simply let it refine

              • Goldfinch60

                We may be just carbon and water but each day of our lives we sparkle like diamonds as we are still here.
