Treasure

What happens when you've climbed every mountain,

 Traveled to all lands,
Sailed through all of the great Earth's oceans,
Dined with Royalty,
Slept with goddesses, 
And acquired an abundance of riches?
What if you lived an extraordinary life and still found yourself to be unhappy?
What if every treasure that you've spent your entire life searching for was in that woman, standing in the kitchen, making you pancakes?
What if all of that exploring and all of that extravagant living never compared to the joy and love that that woman would give you? 
 
What if you realized that that woman had greater worth than all of your jewels combined?
What if every outrageous desire you've had was discovered in a place of complete normality?
Sometimes we waste our whole lives seeking the fortune we already possess.
