~Pearls for pearls~
What Joy can be in ignorance
Or Light in Love you feign
As a pearl from an oyster
Beauty comes from Pain!
If you do not Know it's Value
Will dissection make it plain?
To forfeit Beauty and the Treasure
What then is the Gain
Such Divine 'imperfection'
Mindless mollusc can create!
Can all man's intellect
And cunning make
Anything but facile fake?
Do what you Know that you Must do
No matter what you think the 'cost' t'you
And you will Feel the Soul unfurl
That Power there inside its shackled shell
Like an oyster, turn into a Pearl
See as Heaven what you thought as hell!
Aren't you the Farmer of your Oyster
Why hide your Pearl in armour
Is there safety in a cloister..
There is nothing to defend
(For who with Love can anyone contend)
If you shrink from all you cannot face
How can you Know that you will win
If you never join the Race..
Man this Earthly kingdom his
Granted to control
Does with simple oyster
As One did for the soul,
Gathered in and seeded
Some will never Grow
Others all lopsided
Yet a few will Shine and Glow
And when the Harvest's Done
Only Glowing polished Pearls
Are Chosen in the Final Call...
Matched in Lustre to be strung
In a circlet round the Sun
In Glory for Our All in One
(Sept 1986)
