Pearls lie silent beneath restless waves,
formed in the hush of darkness,
each layer a story pressed
into something whole.

Diamonds sleep in the bones of the earth,
borne of pressure and time,
fractured light trapped in crystal,
uncaring and eternal.

And then,
there is you-
neither hidden nor hardened,
but walking among light and shadow,
gathering meaning without asking for it.

Not precious for rarity,
not brilliant for shine,
but for the stillness you carry
in a world that never stops reaching.

You do not shimmer,
you witness.
You do not dazzle,
you remain.

And that,
more than treasure,
remakes the world.
