finding a pearl

it's rare,
the pearl inside a shell.
perfect
and round,
clean and pinkish
white.
this kind of gem
is hard
to find. a miracle
of sorts
on this long
deserted beach,
but when you do
find her,
this shiny star,
lay it
in your hand,
put it where you can
see it everyday,
before you go to sleep
at night.
keep it, adore
her, but
don't hold too tight.
