Born Of A Seashell
My dearest consort dived into the sea,
He found me as a lotus-shaped pearl.
I was born from a shell of oceanic beauty.
Brightly glowing, I transformed into a girl.
My dearest consort carried me to shore,
He lovingly stared into my watering eyes,
"I longed for you, so I waited years more,"
I spoke before he kissed my lips by surprise.
My dearest consort spoke to me tenderly,
"I knew I'd find you again sooner or later,"
As he says how he always yearned for me.
Now all I want is for us to last forever.
My dearest consort lays with me in the sand,
Feeling waves as we hold each other closely.
I'm slowly recalling my lives in his homeland,
As my heart is opening like a shell in the sea.
