Deep Down

You buried your treasure

A long time ago

Over the years

All soot, dust and time’s way

Made it disappear

Deep down

In the dirt

You have to shovel away

And keep digging

Be careful

Deep down that shine

It is fragile and still pristine

So whose hands can you

Trust with it except your own

Deep down keep digging

And you’ll eventually reach

That point where you greet

That shine

And you will have to smile

As it shows your reflection

Back at you

You had written your name

On your shine and forgotten it

Deep down.

Now bring it back up

Before it’s too late

And life had passed and

You never looked away

From all the worldly lights

Deep down into the forest of self

Thick and searching

Deep down remember

It dwells there.
