Not only a lovely and moving poem, but, as often happens, the prose afterward is equally so. It reveals more about you - your culture and your life. Thank you.
I have often thought it very interesting that something as lovely as a pearl starts as a grain of sand that must irritate the mollusk so that it is coated (smoothed) over and over again to become the pearl. How we become "smoother" and perhaps more lovely as time and concerns coat us with more understanding and that love is not finite....it grows to encompass so much as we learn and grow. Thank you for this!
….a human without sadness is not alive but a memory …. So poignant and touching.
Isn't this a beautiful line? The song ends with it.

Shukran habibi, for your kind words, and for reading. Learning more about the background of a poem often helps me appreciate it more <3

The world can teach us a lot about ourselves. It is so fascinating. What kinds of pearls have we yet to discover within ourselves? <3
