Repentance and Resolve
I won't say 'turn back',
for you've stepped in search of truth;
your decision is worthy of support
even at the cost of separation.
The tear in my eye symbolizes desperation;
the gloom is not because I am deserted
but indicates the anguish at my failure
to partake of the gems you had collected.
Now the teardrop insists on being recognized;
(Now the teardrop insists to be recognized;)
is anxious to merge with oceanic splendour,
and dreams to become a pearl deep down
in the womb of one receptive oyster.
