An Unknown Post

The space between us could be infinity,
vast and timeless,
a black void, a burned out star.

Oceans seethe,
spawning storms within their depths,
casting torturous waves upon a thousand shores
pulverizing land with their demonic power,
a dark, watery chasm to separate you and me.

As long as there is a sky above us,
I will hear your heart whisper
above the roar;
through vast spaces of time,
we send our quiet, secret dispatches
by an unknown post,
delivered to your heart and mine
on light beams streaming through the moon.

What a marvelous read from a blessed paged built on lines constructed with the lyrics of the skies and words well supported by dynamic foamy clouds. Message well expressed! No doubt an absolute 7##.
