It’s a poetic portrait of pearl formation, which is truly a nature’s miracle and illustrates that the worst and most painful invasion can be transformed into something magnificent.

The Pearl itself is a glowing example of something that would never have been created without adversity and struggle. It is an exquisite reminder of what we should do to conquer the difficulties in life.

All art is autobiographic.
The pearl is the oyster’s autobiography.

Regard oneself as a pearl?

It reminds me of a poem

《泥土》
鲁藜

老是把自己当作珍珠，
就时时有被埋没的痛苦，
把自己当作泥土吧，
让众人把你踩成一条路。



Just another perspective of looking at pearls.

Hi Eric, Yes. I agree that the nature has its beautiful way to reveal life.

I once wrote a short one, people want to hang on the wall because it is the way of nature.

Cocoon
Unwrapping a dream,
beauty inside reveals truth:
change never ceases.


Thank you very much for your wonderful reading... I am glad to read your comments. very insightful and delightful words.

Hi Lake.. Thank you for sharing your view.


haha. I have wrote a lot of poems as my portrait, such as butterfly, cold fish, lotus, tree and bird...even shadow, cat...

I believe every moment we can be something.
This moment I love myself and see the pure side.

I believe if you want to love others, you must love yourself first.

In fact, this poem I wrote it because I was tired to hear others say they have a broad heart to fit the ocean, but in the other hand, they cannot hold a sand....

So I come up with the pearl poem to praise people who have a tiny heart but kindly light up others' life.

Comment from PenShell

I think this is a lovely, delicate piece.
I would make a few changes in puncutaion as above. The voice is gorgeous. You can use if they strike you as notable. I enjoyed this.

This is a beautiful poem..I agree with the others a delicate offering, It is wonderful. I agree with Vibby don't change the first two lines. I very much enjoyed the read.

Anna,

Your poem is a delicate offering. I treasure what you have captured in these few words. Kathleen offers just the right touch for the mood. So lovely.

Anna.. I love how the poet owns the tiny heart
but refuses to despise it... This poem illustrates
a wonderful attitude towards life and it's various
difficulties.. The pearl held deeply within
is not touched by the vicissitudes
of 'outer' experience; the lotus sprouts most purely
from the muddiest depths... A pure smile
is always possible with this attitude.. You have
a beautiful spirit, and a wondeful smile I am sure..
much much enjoyed,

mike

Hi! Anna:

After reading your short poem entitled Cocoon, I felt my spirit has been lifted up.

Yes, all life longs to move to higher realms of awareness. For that, change is inevitable. Change is what allows the changeless to reveal itself as ever fresh. Without it, there is no growth, no transformation.

Hi Dundas,

Welcome.

Yes. the pain of life sometimes yields the good part. just like the processes of pearl.
