Notes About The Poem

Spiritual Gem Inside Me

Within my heart, I carry a gem
A compass that continually guides me
Through storms that rattle 
My light doesn't dim
During stillness' healing,
I'm set free

At these times, I know
There is a gem hidden
Inside us all 
Unless it isn't bidden 

Does a spark linger there
A spiritual gem abiding
Waiting to be unearthed
To illuminate all dark paths
Both near and far away
In quiet or in noise
In every breath we take
The gem waits and waits
