Analysis of Pearls and you



PEARLS AND YOU
==============
you sit
bare feet
in deep water
to look into the sky
trying to get answers
for why the crystal clears
the water
has an abundance of pearls

in deep water
where you sit
bare feet
so crystal clear
the fishes touch you
with new sensation each time

not giving you some aqua pressure therapy
but a touch by their natural movement
if you know the answer
then for what are you waiting for?

After all, that splendid or wonderful or exciting happens
just remember those that brings simple little pleasures,
following one another softly,
like pearls slipping off a string.

Experience this chill of winter
then cherish the warmth of brightness
please, just, do not look to the sky
This is the beauty that comes from pain
and that pain is the source that gives us pleasure
