when you are digging

if you find silver

throw it aside

if you find gold

pay no attention

if you find diamonds

ignore them

and keep digging

there is more

truth more sterling

meaning more precious

stones more brilliant

you are the treasure

mine your self

dig the ore of your soul

pull yourself sparkling from the earth

everything else is distraction

you are the gold

you are the silver

you flash like fire

never forget

you are the treasure
