Christian Poetry

Christ the Diamond

Christ is the diamond,
so beautifully cut,
With multiple facets so bright,
Around Him stands all manner of men,
And each sees one aspect of light,

Christ turns but a fraction,
and the sparkling lights change,
New wonders the viewers perceive
Each light somewhat different,
specifically meant,
For the ones who the Spirit receive.

None has the right to say to another,
The light that you see isn’t true.
The facet for him was cut for his purpose;
Yours was cut only for you.

But all viewers jointly,
their own lights held true,
Make a composite brilliant reflection.
It’s the Body of Christ…..
The Diamond’s intent…..
To mirror its wondrous perfection.
