Both solid and strong
Yet destined for dust,
Both known for qualities distinct.

Do we look at the differences?
Revel in the similarities?
Or appreciate and acknowledge as is?

The debate is over
A feeling exists.
The knowing is real.

What of the title!
The name!
The concept!…..
All hogwash.

Stand firm as a rock
Acknowledge that you are the gem
Recognize each exists deep within.

Find your gateway
Ask for that one key
And make your way to your mineral core and base.

Rise like a mountainous rock
Crystallize like an uncut diamond.
Know your journey, feel your formation.
Humble yet grand, you are great all along!
