Pearl

Guarded by the sea,
lying lonely in her bed
of silver shell.

Her disguise is sublime.
Objects of desire are rare
and hard to find...

Pearldivers, take care
I once let her slip through
my freshman hands,
so precious was she, hard to hold.

Every day i dream
about that pearl.  My diver's
heart lies close to hers,
at the bottom of the sea.
