For you,
I would move heaven and earth.
But where in the world would I put them?
The world is your oyster.
I shall place heaven and earth in an oyster.
Universal themes, these.
Pearls of wisdom.
Heaven and earth on the half shell.
What Rhymes with Stanza?
Words at rest, words at play
What Rhymes with Stanza? 
The image of the world as an oyster is wonderful… there is just one pearl
