Pearls...

Rolling down the rocky hills...
Going towards their destiny...
Soft, serene, inward turmoil
Seeds and plants of ecstasy...
A belief, so shattered
A heart, so broken...
A smile well-taken
A root so shaken...
The pearl rolled down
And reached her lips
It kissed her good bye
And plunged into the abyss...
She wondered how many would sacrifice
Their lives, their memories, their price
As she thought some more, some more
One more headed for the fall...
