Message In An Acrostic

Message in a Bottle for Amrik Singh M y friend from India has gone missing. E very day he shared beautiful gardens. S ometimes, pictures of him in his turban S miling beside his lovely wife were posted. A love for mankind exuded from both of them. G reetings became a cherished friendship. E xperiences and pictures crossed the seas. I ndia was at war with Pakistan. N ow, I worry about the lifted execution ban. A mnesty International and Justice Project Pakistan B ear out reports that in 2014 Pakistan began executing O ver there, again. Most victims were not convicted. T hen, my friends' travels crossed many countries. T o have lost Amrik Singh and his wife as friends is unthinkable. L et my bottle cross the ocean and find them well. E very mutual friend has missed him since he disappeared. 1/14/2017 Written for Kim Rodrigues’ Poetry Contest Message in a Bottle.

It is such a pity when we lose contact with cherished friends! In this case it is worse when thinking of the unthinkable! Hopefully good news will come your way. ~ Regards // paul

Right after he disappeared as my facebook friend and from our Garden Group, Plant Lover's Around the World, I found another man with the same name who also was pictured with his wife. It has been a few years, now, since he vanised. If I remember correctly it was on the same weeked of some executions.
