Somewhere Shines A Diamond

Somewhere shines a diamond Within the cold, grey stone Silently it slumbers Set deep and yet unknown Hidden there in secret Concealed from mortal sight Glist`ning in the shading A dazzling shining light Somewhere full enshrouded A glinting speck of gold Waits to be uncovered So lovely to behold Longing for the dawning When sunlight strikes the land Revealing all this beauty Fixed in the burning sand Somewhere in the twilight A ray of hope shines through Fading all the shadows Surrounding me and you I have searched a lifetime These treasures yet to find Are they bound in darkness Or there within my mind
