The Lost Pearl
My pearl
In front of me;
Sparkling
Shining
And fragile;
A young pearl indeed.
My only treasure
I have in this world
Beside my true self
In a second,
It fell
In the Deepest water;
Like the giant titanic
At the watch of
Ice and wind.
I looked at my true self,
It fell too …
At the same depth,
And the same speed.
I dove down
To reach the bottom
Seeking
My pearl;
Despite
The cold,
The depth,
And my short breath.
…
…. I saw it!
Lodged in one big
Coral
Interstice;
Her natural
Birth place;
Among
Her sibling
.... Anemones, Krills, Urchins,
... Clown and Puffer fishes
... Also sharks.
I do not fear the shark.
I fear to bother
The beauty of the reefs.
I dragged myself up
To the surface
To breath,
And swallow a piece of the blue sky
In order
To make another
Last attempt
To fill my eyes
And My life
With the picture
Of my lost pearl,
The corals,
And the reefs.
I am who
Came from the deep desert;
Frayed
Under the sun,
And sweat
By the dunes.
I still respect
Nature,
Beauty,
And integrity.
