World Is A Pearl

By island warrior

Red roads of lightning
Burning trees felled
In the palm of a hand
A circle is held
Forever spinning round
A hidden strange world
Land sea and pupil
Together in a swirl
Eyeball is the shell
And iris the pearl

    I like. The surrealism shows restraint and keeps the imagery fairly neat. But I don't need to tell you all that. Again, I really like it.
