Walking along the soft, sandy shore
under the sky of a midnight blue,
glancing at the sea in its calm azure,
swaying to the rhythm of the moon's allure...

The glistening moon casts its magical rays,
adding sparkle to shells upon the silvery way.
I gather them gently one by one... and...
so plain and empty they appear in my hand.

Not worth a find, none special to keep,
all pieces of stones... lying in a dull heap.
I toss them around towards the sea... one by one
in the quiet, rippling waves they go down... one by one.

Submerged in thoughts in a world of my own,
thinking of someone as I walk all alone,
empty handed... still content from within
for the richness I have and hold within...

Deeper than the sea in the depth of my soul,
a gem well preserved... much rarer than gold,
encased in its shell never apart
none other than you ... the 'Pearl' of my Heart.
