Cultivating the Pearl

Ralph Garn, Syracuse, NY

Into the upper chamber . . .
Breath of life draws fruit for the pearl . . .
Rounded over the cycles in time . . .
Sparkling in the center of being . . .
Life begetting life . . .
Bursting from the stillness . . .
Spreading and drawing to its core . . .
All necessary ingredients . . .
Growth into Spirit,
A new beginning!
