Heart Pearls - by Frances Amaroux
River flowing in moonlight strands
Whispers silently a peaceful song
Weeping willows sigh of love
The jasmine drowses my soul in dreams
Sweet grass pillows my head in a cloud
Causing my mind to drift and swirl
In the eddying mists of time.
The silver sound of a nightingale
Sings of the yearning in my heart
Plucks at my throat
Till the healing water springs from my eyes
Trickling like miniscule pearls
To the empty well in my heart
