What Do I Want?


I walk
I walk alone
I walk on empty fields and barren lands
Only in search of something
What do I want?

I find a hailstone
A smooth appearance
And a cooling sensation
Is that what I want?

I find a diamond
Bright, shiny and rare
But hard and sharp edges
Is that what I want?

Hailstone
Minutes to form and minutes to melt
Diamond
Centuries to form and centuries to melt
What do I want?
