Pearl
A creature so wild and untamed
Like a fairy of the old world
Flitting through the trees
Wearing leaves and flowers
Adorning her as if they were one
Witch-child they said of her
Her impish face grinning
A face so wild and beautiful
It is hard to imagine it a human child
A spirit so free to roam
Never to be chained to her parents fate
Born out of passion so strong
That she carried in her the light of the sun
Not 'till that fateful day on the scaffold
When she kissed her dying father
And the tears fell like little pearls down her cheeks
Did that wild spirit become tamed
She cried tears filled with her passion
Until there were no more to be cried
And she was left a mortal child
The fiery flames of passion now quenched
