Poetry Poem: The Pearl
The dignity of this sorrow lies between
Your sadness and my distress
We had those struggles
Interludes of passion too
Before you went your way
Hair wavering, eyes blistered with tears
Anger tore up the flower garden in my heart
Leaving sorrow or was it sadness
Clinging letter by letter to those few resilient weeds
We tried again and again but our holy ground was waisted
Sorrows resignation is no place to plant love
Sadness no place to accept happiness
Captured in distress
Caught in the quietude
My reflection shattered
My soul which mattered
Reached out into the still pool
Where I found this
pearl.
Excellent ?
