Written Upon the Waters

An attractive young lady she was in her head was filled many thoughts those of love and what might have been training her mind to keep what's caught Here she leans over the side what is she really thinking? no one can know, only this lady whether her heart too is sinking There's a message in her head wishing to export it to his ears if only this water was solid still then the water tells it so he hears Look on with her finger-pointing into this water so very deep is this love worth all the effort her life is precious needs to keep Hope is all I've got she says thinking into her self, it's so real well some things need not be but my heart will it ever heal? Written upon the waters by her finger so very tender maybe one day into the future she'll receive 'return to sender'

You have told a poignant tale, Gordon...so very heartbreaking. I imagine her placing the letter in a bottle and watching it float to sea...I hope you are having a great day. I'm not sure of the time difference, but I imagine it is well into the afternoon where you are :) xx Rhonda

Enjoy the lovely weather. It's nothing but stormy weather here. I may have to start building an ark soon :)
