He looks at the surface
and sees that which is not there.
He sees not what is,
but what can be.
He sees hope, and potential
so he looks beneath the surface.
He digs deep,
to reach what the earth is holding
so close to its heart.
He finds what the normal eye will not,
and recognizes its worth.
He does not scorn
or cast away,
but everything is examined.
He knows these treasures,
for that is what they are,
for their true worth.
I want to be an archaeologist.
