Sullied by the ocean,
The oyster redeems its glory
In the white of the pearl;
The pearl, pure and transparent,
innocently adorns grimy necks,
Unable to name the oyster its own

Sullied by the ocean,
The oyster redeems its glory
In the white of the pearl;
The pearl, pure and transparent,
innocently adorns grimy necks,
Unable to name the oyster its own
Beautiful contrast. A very nice poem. Perhaps you could do a haiku version of it a well.
That was me by the way…
