Gold and Pearls
I have given
the shimmering
moments of
my life
to shuffle
my best bet
with a handful of
singing universes.
These blinding
constellations,
where love dwells,
melodious as
they are
they have taken
flight from the
lower regions
of emptiness,
from the enchanted
results of ancient
battles who
sought the light
amidst the
peace of heaven.
Now, we have
finally learned
to speak to each
other’s content
in the ears of
the wind,
which runs along
the river
near the end of
this house
of prayer.
We live here
in poetry,
searching for
those things
that have no
other choice but
be shaped into
a merry little
world like ours,
working its
way amidst the
gold and pearls.
