Pearl

A pearl necklace,
Smooth on the eyes,
Smooth on the soul,
A delight to all.

The mountain,
Through treacherous earth,
And scurrilous tempest,
Always worth the climb.

The pit,
Walking through with eyes closed,
And heart open,
Darkness washes over like a warm blanket.

The rock,
Heat between two lovers,
Is enough to turn,
Stone to stud.

A pearl necklace,
Smooth on the eyes,
Smooth on the soul,
Always worth it in the end.
