The Pearl

It all started with a sigh

I began my journey from the eye

I tried not to fall from the lashes

But i was destined to fall into ashes

Crawling down slowly on your cheek

I toiled to grab anything I could seek

Falling I found myself at your nose

Someone would wipe me I supposed

But no one bothered and I was at your lips

I wished that you could take a sip

I slipped and landed on your chin

The line between death and life was thin

Detached from your face i was welcomed by the frost

Another life gone, Another pearl lost !
