Do Not Bring Me Pearls
Do not bring me pearls
I have no need of these
but give me limes and lemons
so I may quench my thirst
do not tell me I need the sun by
day
or stars by night
but pour over me the rain
for I stand on burning sand
I am not a vessel
to be filled with your needs
but an empty soul
to be filled with mine
do not think I need wind
to fill my sails
but help me find a keel
to keep my boat afloat
do not bring me pearls
