The treasure lies within!

"Go, find your treasure",an unknown voice said

I started soon, a million thoughts in my head

I searched everywhere, I didn't drop

The hunt for treasure never stopped

I looked for it hard, for day & night

But all in vain, there was no delight

After a long try, when I sat with a sigh

An unknown voice echoed, I couldn't spy

"It isn't money, wealth silver or gold

But its something which cannot be sold

Real treasure is without any measure

Something which gives an at most pleasure"

"It isn't something in hands you hold

Neither new or old", the voice told,

"Happiness, power & talents lying deep in your heart

Never worldly, doesn't leave you apart"

"Within you, you need to visit

To quest for inner happiness essence & spirit

Untie your worldly tether

The untapped potential you must endeavor"

True! I thought, my true treasure lies within

Its me a fool, whose hunt must now begin
