Buried Treasure

By Jared Dompreh

Walk, walk, walk,  walk
Along the  shoreline.
Down, down,  down,
Down I dig into the sand.

I have lost a treasure,
And I am trying to find where it was tossed.

Under the sand? In the watery deep?
Where could this treasure be?

There is no finding it,
Because this treasure has gone into a place
Of no return or reclaim. 
 
This lost treasure is just like hope.
It can be tossed aside and never found by its owner.

A stranger will stumble across it
Then take it as a gift--
A gift that was used to make 
A person believe
Again.
