The Pearl of my Life



I have seen rain ,
and I enjoyed it
I saw drought once and I cried

Suddenly , few drops of water fell
like pearls I have never seen
and life was no longer hell
I had the most precious pearls of my life.
Until some day it rained heavily and I realized
pearls , pearls and pearls everywhere
that those pearls are no longer that prized

Drought again ,
Pearl was angry
didn't fell on me
I saw it being absorbed
And the earth left a fragrance of happiness
like the one I had once.
I cry again ,
No pearl to make me happy now .
