Deep Recesses

Out of the deep recesses Of human hearts Comes a longing cry For recognition From where and from when Did they come? Out of the bowels of the earth Gold is found and dug And the silver vein discovered Out of the depths of the sea Formed in the womb of the oyster The most precious Pearls are birthed Out of the darkest sky in light years of space Brilliant stars are birthed Inside mountains of gaseous clouds Out of midnight oil is the search For wisdom and knowledge The rarest of gems Is birthed in the Heart that holds God A most precious Pearl Born from giving all that are © Brenda V Northeast 27th April 2012 For Russell Silveys contest "Midnight Pearl"

A wonderful poem that fills my need when I read this. The stanzas 1 and 2 seem to be a universal cry that affects us so much.
