Untitled

I sought refuge from the world,
and was left empty handed.
The life I led was left, unfulfilled
my arms empty of accomplishgment
All I had to show for my existence
was a single pearl
It glowed in the mystical dark
of the sunlight's final surrender
A beacon of how life should be
The gem didn't belong to me
But I longed to hold it
As I sat there savoring every glimpse
I thought of how the world
should be.
Filled with the light that
the pearl casts around it.
