Notes About The Poem

Pearl

Matthew 13:46 “Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.”

secreted, within
in my innermost life
where the best stories start
is a lifetime – of memories and grace,
joys that will never replace
the music that settles here,
reassuring and soothing
inspiring me to believe in the beautiful
sound of hope 
and the soundless news
silent prayers, purpose, promise
written there, in gentle reflections
of a summer night, 
a splendor so alive, so alive…

it stills the moments
peace rising
against the heady laughter
tunes of light, crazy
as the fireflies dancing on the twilight
glimpsing the eternal rhythm
of a dream and flowing stillness
coloring the world
in hues of melancholy
and blessing away the darkness
shadows like silhouettes 
of memories, dewlike 
glistening, gems so graceful
and gracious, grieving
away the silence…

melting into the morning
sunrise remembers
the silence, yet shouts
to the hills, the meadows
the glistening rivers
and rustling leaves, the trees
oaks and pines, laughing
through the morning
while the reflections of grace
trail behind the weeds,
dandelions dreams
and the gems, small inklings
what it means to believe
the truth, the way beyond the grief
the way beneath the pain,
the way through every doubt
the way to see…

the gem, it is the pearl of great worth
precious and invaluable,
unable to write the words
where it hurts,
where it glows – a glimmer
of what it means to believe
shimmering, steadily
revealing the meaning of grace,
the sparkle of light
in the music, the faith
a breath of beautiful
hidden in layers of kindness,
it is Him, the One who wrote the stars
across the summer skies
the One who broke the darkness
with wings of angelic praise
the One who is life, to the heart
who hears – His blessings,
poured out over the life
the life who knows Him 
as the sweetness, the sincerity
the sensitivity – the Presence
who makes love a reality!

Hiya Sharma June 25, 2025 at 4:17 AM My gosh, dear Regina, this is one of the most breathtaking pieces I've read in a long while! The devotion in your words and the insight which you've so skillfully woven in a soulful manner, ah, it breathes with so much wisdom and philosophical depth. There are so many lines here which I cherish to the core — "melting into the morning sunrise remembers the silence, yet shouts to the hills" wow, that speaks immense volumes! "while the reflections of grace trail behind the weeds, dandelions dreams" And this one "Him, the One who wrote the stars across the summer skies the One who broke the darkness with wings of angelic praise the One who is life, to the heart who hears" The spiritual essence in these words has moved my soul in a profound way, truly. The emotions... imagery... everything is beyond sincere. Absolutely one of my most FAVs from you ~ Regina Mcintosh June 25, 2025 at 9:47 AM Oh, wow. I feel so humbled by your kindness and praise... I hope you see Jesus in the words because that would be my greatest success! SDG -
