Message In a Bottle
As I gaze out over the deep blue sea.
The tide is coming towards me.
I am distracted by something in the waves.
The crashing waves are closer now
it is a bottle coming to shore.
Depositing it at my feet I
picked it up and
Inside is a note which says...
My words of love are sealed in this bottle
sent out among the waves
These are the windows of my soul
reaching out to the ocean to make me whole.
Never to be heard by the one I love.
Wishing I could tell him so...
So I write these words
hoping that someone somewhere
may read them.
Understanding how I ache
to feel his gentle caress.
Should this message on the sea never reach land,
I would wish for it to be surrounded by nothing
but the brilliant blue of an unending ocean.
The Ocean brings thoughts of
my unremitting thoughts of my love.
Though the distance is great his picture
is still fresh in my mind.
Whether my words are ever shared by another
or I am able to look into his bright smiling eyes again,
I do not know.
Once again to hear his voice washing over me
as he tells me his heart is true,
would be the perfect answer.
Replacing the cap I throw it back out
to the sea to carry the words away from me.
Much like a bottle I sent so many years ago.
It is on its way to him
wherever he may go.
I walk on
for you see
he is forever lost to me...
Like the sand washing out to sea
he is some where
but not with me....
