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.
