The pearl that cried in glee

Sand and stones merge the waves watch on
Care and thought into the pearl, she grew on
Brighter than the moon, pure as snow
Waiting for the day she speaketh her know

Waves as the cradle, currents guiding her
She sets out on her quest afar and wide
Leaving the home that gave her care
Shelter with the mother that bore and bare

Scarred she might, captured she may
As she marches on jubilant down the way
Plain adventure in mind and spirit
No dreams no plans no friends to meet

All thru the battle, thru her scars
Back in her mind in the soul of thought
Even when she was netted and worn
Was the love and comfort she's shown

Parted from the waves and the wings
The drive that lent her reason to spring
Never would there be a trip back home
Where the waters cradled her dome

Wonders of the Ocean and all she held
Sounds, the sights, behold her mind
As she rests on the pale neckline
Of a dusky dame adding to her fame

Live she will on and beyond
Lives of the ones that adorn
Thriving on the love, thought and care
Of all that, that drew her here.....

Cried in glee she did when she
Thought of all the way that be
Sights and sounds and dark mystery
Glory are the ways of the deep blue sea!
