The Pearl

I saw heaven
in the face of sorrow
The shimmering light
broke through
the abyss

Out of nowhere and
from everywhere

The sudden peace
The sudden calm
The sudden joy

Unexpected yet
deeply expected

Cloistered
in the oyster
A pearl
of iridescent
hope

Dive for your heaven
It is in the sea
Of doubts, of despair
Of uncertainty

Hold the pearl
in your hands
and chaos dissipates
into eternity

Now heaven is
within the chambers
of your soul

Forever born
Forever loved
Forever more
