Diamond
for Heartshope Kandaroo
When the learner is ready the teacher will come
When the light lances night there can be no more fears
As forged in the mirror a diamond appears
The teacher is ready and the learner brings some
Surprises as hope rises to break a new day
The learner and the teacher embrace at sunrise
The diamond shines its new light burns night away
I find you and you find me in each other's eyes
By the light of the diamond forged from the tears
Of watching and waiting and wondering to say:
When learner and teacher are ready each appears
