Rising up out of the abyss of darkness and tortured times, <br />There is but a single light, a shimmer, from below... <br /> <br />Deep within each and everyone it has formed, <br />Careful taking its time to develop, <br />With a solid stone wall to protect our greatest treasure, <br />The golden quality of humanity, deep inside us all... <br /> <br />To some it is weakness and to others the greatest strength, <br />But none the less it remains inside our very hearts, <br />Until one day the world summons forth the prize deep in our hearts, <br />The compassion and empathy for the fellow man. <br /> <br />Deep within us it all resides, <br />Though seemingly craggy and hardened to all, <br />This golden unity to all our brothers, <br />It is the true nature of our souls. <br />The Gold within us all...<br /><br />Peter Vector<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-gold-within-the-rocky-depths-of-the-heart/
