Pearl

A journey through the seasons of life

Pearl







At waters fall life starts anew

The swirling tide pulls life force through

With damp and light soft form will take

The twisted and hard shelled life will make

Blooms and seed will all spill forth

A brand new life in her waters warmth

With gush and swirl her days begin

To languor in the air and blooms of spring

The summer's sun will stand her tall

Sharing in her wisdom when autumn leaves fall

Through winter toil she pays her dues

A string of pearls will carry her through

'Till the end of days and nights, rain and dew

She softly, bravely, slips into the earth

While those around embrace all she was worth
