Treasure

Treasure in bare winter trees
And in prayer on aching knees

Treasure in sun’s truthful trying
And in shadow’s swift-sure flying

Treasure in this fallow season
And in joy outside of reason

Treasure in the lens of soul
And fragments of the Blessed Whole

Treasure in this limited knowing
And in hope’s coming and going

Treasure in the searchable core
And in the inaccessible more

Treasure in the poet’s art
Where Your Treasure Is;
There Is Your Heart.
