The Sacred Pearl
Traveling from east to west, he loses a toe
Moving from west to east, he will certainly gain
Within his claw he clutches his most sacred pearl
Which his benevolence is dependent upon
Protecting with magical kindness life’s cycle
He, who tries to steal the Dragon’s precious white orb
Transforms the protector to slayer by burning
The prize represents last in Pandora’s Box
The sacred pearl is none other than the gift of hope
