My Secret Treasure
~~~~~
Digging a deep hole,
I find my darkness grows,
“No way out,” they say,
“But through.”
Pretty sure I’ll burn,
Long before
I tunnel through
The Earth.
Time to change
Direction, but which way?
Should I turn,
Follow my nose,
Or wait for a sign,
A glimmer in darkness,
A will-o-wisp,
A jewel, or golden glint?
Or close my eyes,
Turn until my heart says,
“Stop.” Dig and dig,
Angling upward.
Trust my instincts
To lead me home,
Find my secret treasure,
In the center of my being.
