Pearls for sorrow
Hands cast in shadow
Trial ashen fingertips
Longingly through your grace
Memory is unfaithful
Purity a glimmer in eternity
Mirage a truth
Pearls for sorrow
Your fire glows ever
Born smoldering in the eyes
Of those who saw
Pearls for sorrow


-Nonin Vera
(Behold, the ashes. There the pheonix stirs.)
