The Black Pearl
Precious rare and coveted
Carrying the unique shimmering Black Energy,
Embracing and encompassing the Universal
Spectrum of colours,
Ever present, iridescent, luminous,
And whatever she needs to be
At a given time, in a given place.
Enigmatic, unfathomed, and slightly feared,
By those who know not.
With dimensions ever widening,
Ever broadening outwards,
‘Til she comes to gently rest in the bosom
Of those who understand, love and liberate,
The qualities of the Black Pearl for all time.
