Legend of Pearl

In the old time,
The time before there
Was land,
Water ruled.

Many beings lived
In water and paid homage
To the power and plenty
Afforded, and all
Was good

One day
Moon decided to visit this place
Where Water ruled,
As she had heard
That one could see themselves
In Water’s eyes
And Moon so wanted
To see herself.

As she traveled across Sky
And drew closer
Land felt a pull on his heart
And began to stir,
Rising up from under
Water, where he had lain for
Many ages.

Water was angry
And looked upwards
At approaching Moon
And called harshly
For her to come no closer.

Moon paused,
Shaken by such strong words
And told water
She only wanted to see herself
In his eyes.

Water did not relent
And with great chaotic waves
Motioned her away.

Broken hearted and tired
Moon began to cry,
Pale white teardrops
That fell into the depths
Of Water’s world

Over time,
Moon's teardrops
were picked up and carried
By some who lived
In Waters world

Today, we still find
The tears of Moon,
And call them pearls.

Perhaps, if you are taking requests, you would do blue quartz, or turquoise....

for these are wonderful reads!

I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps
