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

e.fuson 2009

i am fearless

i am

fearless elated

undaunted

and hopeful

alive and excited

at the sound of your voice

e. fuson

what are you looking for

what are you looking for

what do you hope to find

i have no wisdom

no sacred secrets

only these wonderings

pondering dreaming

only this questioning gaze

and faltering step

a furtive glance

toward heaven

a pause

a sigh

perhaps a smile

bemused and bewildered

searching for home

e.fuson 2006

Psalm 45:10 & 11

"listen o daughter, consider and

give ear:

forget your people and your

fathers house.

(for)

The King is enthralled by your

beauty..."

i can not stay silent

i can not stay silent

no matter how i try

though i fear what you might think

when you read my heart here

though i am not sure at times

what my heart really is

though i doubt and question

wonder and burn

yet i must

i am compelled to

speak

e. fuson 2006
