Been Digging

I set out into the field of life

My thoughts are my shovel

With some I uncover the greatest of things:

Shining gems of beauty and wonder

With others I work my days away

Hoping for some kind of answer

And when I've found myself empty-handed

I dig, and I dig some more

Like I'm at least trying to get to the other side

But really I just increase my chances of a cave-in
