Paper-Boat

Scull in the waters under the sun’s incandescence.
Go along with the wind’s rhythm and my heart’s cadence.

Sail far until orange firmaments paint you into black.
Know where you are heading – don’t you ever come back.

If someone finds you alone in the riverside floating,
You’ve got the opportunity to tell my words that are worth-sharing…

“You’re special and worth to be loved.
You’re more than any riches; don’t think you're unloved.

You’ve got a million reasons to feel joy in your heart.
Your stories are fascinating and they’re worthy to impart.

Don’t let your grief and hatred live in you forever. 
Soon you’ll flourish and be greater than ever.

This universal love shall be passed like an endless ripple
It should last to save one or triple.”
