Sandy pearls

Covered by stony sands

Characterised by rough edges

Some parts glowing with such unique radiance

Sandy pearls peeps through the door

Waiting to be let out

Shocked to be turned back

Refiner covers it with more sand and places it in fire

Oh how it hurts!

Please let me be 'it' screamed

Never gonna be perfect anyway

Refiner smiled seeing a radiant glow

His perfect reflection waiting to show

Tho oblivious of its radiant potential

Yet reminded of  refiner's tender care

Sandy pearls looked forward to

Being tagged "A pearl of great price"

Ready for the master's use...

(Mat 13:46)

  

Inspired by Joel Osteen's sermon : Developing your Pearl

Where's dat secretive (introverted) me?

It didn't feel like extreme babbling
Until i asked...
Feels like am being cajouled into babbling still
Followed by a dead silence
Jolted bk to reality...how much i miss d secretive (introverted) me
Although redundant...you av always been a loyal part of me

With open arms am welcoming u back to limelight
Please don't bring along d nuisance called 'pride'
Was happy to be rid of it...
Come as u are- pure and whole
Dat secretive introverted part of me!
