CREATIVE EXPRESSION Poetry Corner Sacred Water


The incredible journey of how An oyster makes a pearl Is Natures direct symbology Of how Wisdom enters the world


There is something within That must arise


Beyond being human Beyond all we surmise


Just as a grain of sand Will become a pearl


The smallest bit of Faith Can change your world


It is not something you believe


It is something you know as whole It is beyond the mortal mind But within the Immortal Soul


The oyster emits a form of saline The same as tears from our eyes That coats this painful granule As the oyster actually cries


It starts to smooth the rigid edges And the pain becomes a pleasure As the hardening of each new layer


Forms a pearl of wisdom, a Holy Treasure


So shall our ragged edges smooth As life forms in the layer of years That coat us in a fabric of Faith


Woven by laughter, but laced with tears Ahhh ! Tears


Like those at the birth of a Daughter Or those at the death of a Son Tears...Truly are Sacred Water.
