The Gold Within The Rocky Depths Of The Heart Poem by Peter Vector

Rising up out of the abyss of darkness and tortured times,
There is but a single light, a shimmer, from below...

Deep within each and everyone it has formed,
Careful taking its time to develop,
With a solid stone wall to protect our greatest treasure,
The golden quality of humanity, deep inside us all...

To some it is weakness and to others the greatest strength,
But none the less it remains inside our very hearts,
Until one day the world summons forth the prize deep in our hearts,
The compassion and empathy for the fellow man.

Deep within us it all resides,
Though seemingly craggy and hardened to all,
This golden unity to all our brothers,
It is the true nature of our souls.
The Gold within us all...
