A New Day

When I was young I searched and suddenly
A likeness solved a mystery
And since that day of days I’ve known my way
As sure as any star’s trajectory,
For I hear a voice within me say,

“For every earthly treasure you would find,
Find first a hidden likeness in your mind, 
And all the covering waste will fall away      
And suddenly what is and what might be 
Will blaze forth like the dawn of a new day.”
