Wilbert Dela Cruz Poet Rhyme

The Treasure Within

There is this pearl of a treasure that I longed to find
Entombed inside the cobweb of my human mind
My automated eyes have conceited to the ways of the world
Frankly, I have doomed myself to the sins of the old

There is wisdom in clarifications; that I’ve yearned to see
That I’ve even questioned my lawful genetics to my own humanity
And my reflections has spoken with so many different things
It rumbles and tumbles down through the puniest end of a string

There is a lot to be said when one knows not what to do
Running around in circles over the things I never knew
But the pathways have been paved and the seed has been sowed
So it just amounts to discovering as to how much I’ve truly owed

And so I found myself at the end, where journey was just beginning
Faced to face with my soul and both of us just decided on digging
To my surprise, the treasure was real and it was always there all along
I just needed to open my heart, to see, the kingdom where I belong

It is a lot like digging for treasures in our own lives, the journey was never about finding it, but in sowing the seed.
