Message in a Bottle
After years of tumultuous dance
with the sea,
An old glass bottle washes
up to the shore.
Cracked and stained, the bottle
shows evidence of
Hurricanes and riptides, heartbreaks
and deceptions.
Its crest bears the symbol
of a Soul,
Lost and lonely,
Helplessly searching for its
mate.
Securely sealed inside the bottle is
a message...
A note tightly wrapped in velvet
ribbon and bound by love.
Two cupids hold a few precious
words carefully written
By a Heart whose song has never
been heard.
The message is brief.
However, it holds a lifetime
of meaning:
Heartfelt promises of trust,
honesty, compassion,
Loyalty, friendship and love.
The person who, destined by fate,
Uncorks this bottle and sets
eye upon its enclosed message
Will, if he listens very carefully,
hear this Heart's song,
And the Soul will then have
to search no more.
