Under the apple tree
in your back yard
that's where the treasure lies
waiting for you
to dream the journey
that will take you
far from home
walking for many days
to reach the city
with its walls
and guarded gates
where you will meet the man
who dreamt of you
only the night before

He will recount the dream
not knowing it was you
he dreamed of
and from him
you'll learn the secret
you've been seeking
though you knew nothing
of a secret
only that your dream
had sent you
walking down the road

Now that you've learned
where to dig
you can begin the even longer
journey home
the way will seem
endless at times
but if you take
a moment to reflect
you'll realize the treasure
is already yours
