The Diamond vs. The Star

Yearning, digging, been so strong
Finally achieving my heart's desire
Ending a search that's been life-long
Now the diamond I may acquire

Only a moment to feel the joy
Until something else catches my eye
No chance to experience this new toy
I turn my gaze to the sky

What is a diamond when compared to a star?
Can the sparkle of the world compete with the Celestial?
Do you fall for something that is so far
once everything else becomes so menial

Do you drop what you have to reach for more?
Or do you hold to what you know?
Risk it all, or keep what is sure
Forsake radiance for just a glow

Try to move on, but the sky calls
Leaving the diamond for hopes of ascension
To gain the best, one must lose it all
I take the leap with heavy apprehension
