Mother of Pearl

It’s a beautiful thought

Both the jewel itself

And the name 

But who is Pearl

And who is her mother

Do I know her?

Can I envision her? 

Is she a beauty?

Will she make my breath freeze?

Can I touch her?

Is she real? 

Or is she like the stone?

Solid inside

With a glossy coat

To make her shine 

If you find her

Tell her I am wondering

Who is she?

And who is her mother? 

It matters to me
