 If by some magic or miracle
A fraction of the tears I shed last year
Were to transform into a black pearl
By their sheer size and number
They'd tickle the belly of the vast ocean
Across continents far and near
Blessed with glistening skin and spark
My black pearls would rival the stars
With Bright light shining through the dark
They'd challenge the Milky Way and Mars
With Eros alone they'd make their mark
Not by wielding power nor waging wars
If I could make meaning of my suffering
Perhaps I could make peace with my fate
Without constant kicking and struggling
Like fish out of water hooked to a bate
Destined to perish without nourishment
Cast aside and scorned in sheer abandonment
If I could mend every crack in my heart
Deep scars from a fateful unrequited love
By stringing together a pearl necklace
With natural beauty to offer mother earth
As symbol of the treasure hard to attain
Resulting from all my anguish and pain
If I could just let go of past fantasies
Walk away from sorrowful memories
Feeling stronger for who I am today
Despite the lamentable long lonely Way
Perhaps I could meet the despised feminine
Waiting to be held with loving compassion
Perhaps Sophia would take me into her embrace
Bring home my soul from exile and forgetfulness
Allow me to experience warmth and nurturance
Rid me from this empty feeling of nothingness
Let the black pearl guide me back to the Source
Release me from tears of regret or remorse
From the treasure chest of the Black pearl Goddess
To Sophia's generous soul-food banquet
Love will be my nourishment instead of fear
Beauty will be my friend, hope my safety net
With all the blessings Sophia could spare
I'd even have abundance left to share
To those suffering from grief and loss
Traversing through the dark night of the soul
A brilliant black pearl I'll gently toss
As the prize gleaming at the end of the tunnel
Let this be your symbol of infinite Love
For love is the glue that unites the universe...
