DIAMONDS FROM DUST ©Ricki E. Bellos In these woods there’s a special place I go when I need to escape No rules to break, no smiles to fake I’ve been numb, my insides are cold Only one place sweet silence holds me If I close my eyes, I’m not alone You’re here with me We lie beneath the trees I make you diamonds from dust Watch them fall down all around us As light slips through dark Each particle a spark Then I try to find a way To make a never ending day Of diamonds from dust Wish we’d found this place back in our teens There was no way out or so it seemed When we felt the weight of all our lost dreams Could have shared it with you I swear Would’ve washed away all your fears In this stillness I hold you near You’re here with me We lie beneath the trees And we make diamonds from dust Watch them fall down all around us As light slips through dark Each particle a spark Then I’m on my knees to pray For a never ending day Of diamonds from dust
