preciousness

You wander from room to room.
Hunting for the diamond necklace.
That is already around your neck.
~ Rumi


what is the value of a being
who knows not where to look
or how to search for truth

his value is not diminished
by not knowing where or how
but might get crushed beneath

the oppressive weight
placed upon  striving
seemingly lifetimes away

when mother of pearls,
father time keepers
and baby's breath

strut through parlours
awake to fertile possibilities:
whole globed chrysathemums

mirror your soul shine
inside your tiniest foot steps, blazing
your soul in it's gathered certitude
