Wisdom

Tucked in a   little corner of the world
Like a shell that hides within itself a pearl
All can see, yet none to know 
That such a simple thing a treasure holds
And like a diver whose relentless search
Deep into the oceans heart would lurch
Unyielding to return, for only he knows its worth
So must be ye, who wish to know me
For I am the wisdom of the world
