Wise Pearly Secret

A gnarled , crusty shell
has protected her secret well

deep in the murky bottom
knowledge reach in fathom's

begin's as a sandy irritant
mother's love , a luminous lubricant

layer's upon layer's , 
until it's finally seen....
upon your hand ,
high quality sheen....

from the inside out ,
again , the true beauty within'.....
never , slightest of doubt ,
that's where it all begin's.....

Let the layer's be wise ,
not ignorance in disquise.......
