A Rare Pearl *timeless appeal* (172 hits)


As I embrace my favorite pastime
Watching the stars while listening to a crackling fire
I am humbled by the beauty and magnitude of the universe
Yet I realize
I am a vital link in its entire splendor

When the storm comes
Sometimes with vengeance
I discover within
The rare pearl that I am
And at this moment
I appreciate everything about my life

Growing and knowing
As I have come into my own
Stepping out of the tunnel of darkness
Sharing the light that illuminates from within
Shining bright for all to see

I walk tall and reach high
For my comfort is found in the Creator
He lifts lead and carries me
If you are wondering who might she be
I am
The epitome of grace peace and dignity
I am
The essence of love and sublime simplicity
I am BOLD with it
I am smooth with it
I am a rare pearl with timeless appeal

In the midst of a cruel and unforgiving world
I still manage to sing and dance to life
Cultivating sweet melodies of a centered soul
Planting seeds that heal the spirit of another
As I bless my own
With a joyful smile and song in my heart
I reap what I have sown

Timeless Appeal…

As you know Bren I enjoy reading your poetry on Sundays... Because that's time I am most centered. This piece was timeless and beautiful.. It spoken to me for I understand a rare pearl when I see one for I AM SHE!

BRAVO!!!
