The Oyster and the Pearl ©
Cinquain

Living.
Flow with the sea.
Nurtured by the currents.
Gods' grace providing all I need.
Loving.

Gritty.
Small grain of sand.
A sharp thorn in my flesh.
Constantly turning and grinding.
Testing.

Resolve.
Polish in me.
This cold constant struggle.
Remake this pain in me into,
Treasure.

Hardship.
Turned into joy.
A shining hope of grace.
Providence of your precious love.
Rescue.

Witness.
Each pearls story.
Teaches us to trust you.
And in your Holy name we will.
Witness.
