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
