I searched among the clear blue waters

and golden rays of sun

not knowing what I was looking for

was among the mountainous clay

the strength the outer layer held

speckled by layers of torrent weather

washed and beaten to create such majesty

breathtakingly beautiful

the sun caresses its soft lips

upon the tiny imperfections

not knowing below the surface

lies something oh so precious

the softer, sweeter edges

run through my fingers

to be cherished and loved

it is amongst the mountains I found

where my heart belongs

the silent, hidden secrets

meant to be revealed and loved

my journey among these mountains

forever my life’s content
