A diamond in the pigsty.

A diamond in the pigsty.

Many would rummage and sniff about you

but found nothing but a peculiar rock.

Yet you remained there.

To be touched.

And tainted.

I had to polish the grim surface to find you.

I pray that from now on the only reflection I see in you is my own.

– F H Hakansson

  Thank you! 😀 The title was actually supposed to be the first line but I changed it later. Think it’s better this way 🙂
