sometimes;
we find what we are looking for on the surface,
loudly conspicuous,
even surrounded by the pale sand
a beauty that outshines all
that throbs with life
other times,
we have to dig deeper
to find a jewel of a rare kind
more subtle
yet more vivid in its beauty
so, you begin to sift the sand
and you begin to look
however,
less often still
you find an even rare beauty
but only the digging to the core
after effort …. its beauty is binding
yet it is the smallest
the more subtle and most ferocious
it maintains its luster forever
forever,
you have to dig deep into the sand to find it
i have come to understand
that this is what love is
or rather
how i see it to be
its rarity and beauty of its value
and its appeal
its made for everyone
yet only a few see it
and hopefully one day
i will see it to
i pray
everyday
that i will
even but once
