Sensually pressed against my skin
Creamy white, silky smooth
A string of opalescent pearls
Singular beads of timeless wisdom
Strung together with silk thread
Knots of safety in between
Four generations of women
Rolling between my fingers
Ignite images of transparent ocean waves
Looking up from a grain of sand
Disturbing oyster’s peace
Knowing sensations flood my body
The interconnectedness of everything
Pulses a timeless circle of wisdom
From each precious single pearl.
