Self expression

In the beginning was not the word
but the thought.
When the first word was spoken
it switched on the light.
And there was a diamond
beautiful in its refraction
of light and shade, its cutting
and proportions. Its purity
measured in colour patterns:
the blue-white perfection,
the off shades with less transparency .
Different shades of expression,
joy and sadness, giving and taking
enhance or damage the human mind.
Effect cannot be cured by effect,
The search has to start with a cause.
Thoughts are built speechless
into the human mind, not born
into the physical body:
Shades of expression of mind,
lit up by the power of words.
