Pearls of Life

I do surprise myself

As I uncover the layers 

To discover new pearls

And find strength that overpowers

Will power gearing up in it’s flutters 

Lessons trapped behind shutters 

Defining me for better or worse

Pearls - Blessing or a curse!

Come upon wounds that I nurse

Joy that seeps though the curves

Peace playing blindman’s buff

Time whispers in a soft buzz

Pearls - Blessing or a curse!

I choose to pick up the pieces

Embrace all the changes

And enjoy life’s enigmatic company!
