100 Words|Best Shot: Treasures
Sometimes we search for them,
As if they were buried deep,
Out of reach.
Sometimes we wish for them,
As if they were helplessly lost,
Beyond our reach.
Sometimes we call out for them,
As if we are urging them back,
Well within our reach.
These gems we seek,
These prizes we desire,
These desires we warrant,
They are all attainable.
In a smile; a photograph.
In a song; a melody.
In a kind word; an endearment.
In the world; a stockpile
We just need to look.
We just need not to look.
That’s when we will find them.

Great poem and picts. I especially love the steps. It is truly amazing how many treasures surround us isn’t it. I mean you can find them in the smallest of places and around corners you never thought possible. Great post!
