    Treasure
    feet in tides sand I feel you uncover
    you pick me
    hover
    you are the one who sets me free
    giving me value when my change is short

    swimming in my head you glisten
    I held you
    listen
    you are the one who whispers light
    covering up my head when castles are falling

    secret of this world art and power
    you gave and took
    but me you held
    shook
    you are the one who sees my sight
    lifting me up when black wholes shift tides

    so never again will I be this weighted down
    never again will the standard be gold
    only Treasure will I keep
    now I’ll throw away my sea shells and head over to your hand
    Treasure you have found me here in my sand

    "you are the one who whispers light covering up my head when castles are falling" —— a stunning line.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
