She dreamt of pearls
Lots of pearls
She loved the feel of them
The weight of them
The purity of them
She respected the old process
The divers who braved sharks
And unknowns
In the blue water depths
Holding their breath
Hunting for oysters
Nature is truly impressive
It takes a tiny grain of sand
And turns it into a beautiful jewel
She dreamt of pearls
Lots of pearls
