Waiting For a Message In a Bottle

The waves calm me down as I sit and wonder For my love is lost in the stormy scurrilous sea And I know my hapless heart to be torn asunder As I wait for my true love to wash back to me ~~~ The clouds move in to hide the paralytic pain And the thunder muffles the beat of my heart Within entangled emotions that silently drain Toward the wounded waters that keep us apart ~~~ Perhaps in the deep distance, there may be hope For the shore surrenders its secrets of the mist I’m sinking in the sand of eternity trying to cope Digging upon dreams of the last time I was kissed ~~~ Thus now the Earth begins to shake and wobble For it brings forth to me, my message in a bottle.

Love does shake the earth we are on.. evades all the clouds and rises unveiled.. transcends the rumbling sound of thunder.. Love crosses all the oceans and comes to you "a message in a bottle" ! You captured the beauty, ache and strength of love, Winged Warrior, and you rendered it into a Gem! To my heart and fave list. Congratulations on your POTD, an acknowledgement and honour well deserved.. my deepest regards. Stay in the beauty of Love and Light.
