Pearls

The only sound

Your heels on the marble floor

A clock ticking softly

Impartial to your thoughts

You sip your champagne

Pearls dangling from your wrist

they make you feel secure

Soft and hard at the same time

You never avoid dichotomy

The world is inconsistent, you say

Electrons spin in opposition

Yet in harmony too

I wonder what you will say

The day that chain releases

Each perfect pearly gem

In a shower of beautiful chaos

Bouncing on the stone cold floor

I'm guessing you'll feel free

And you've waited a lifetime for that...
