When I
Discovered you
I didn’t
See but
Felt you
Hidden beneath
Stone and
Knew right
Then that
You are
Far too
Rare a
Gem to
Remain buried
Inside of
A mountain
When I
Discovered you
I didn’t
See but
Felt you
Hidden beneath
Stone and
Knew right
Then that
You are
Far too
Rare a
Gem to
Remain buried
Inside of
A mountain
I wish
That I
Might’ve known
You then
But since
I know
You now
Then I
Must’ve known
You then
Because now
I know
All parts
Of you
And simply
Because I
Showed kindness
In a
World of
Despair a
Gift was
Bestowed upon
Me in
The form
Of a
Prayer it
Said be
Light be
Aware and
Always always
Be there
The same
Pressures that
Surround us
Are the
Same pressures
That caused
Us to
Be rare
We often
Think that
Life is
Meant to
Make us
Better that
Somehow if
We pay
The dues
We’ll be
Happy what
If we’re
Already happy
And instead
Learn sorrow
For it’s
There and
Only there
Filled with
Sorrow that
We understand
What it
Means to
Be truly
Human beings
