A childish pearl

I am always

very silent, in the back

of maturity.

I am further than

one body of a word;

no wonder, a sky can see.

I feel, closely to you

in the shelter of a storm

rays are sunbeams, colourless.

The pearl is a woman

in her eyes, the hands

of a sea, in silence

water cleans new oceans

in free breezes white wind

is a heartbeat, away!
