She breathed magic wind into the air as she weaved her tale
Enthralling every ear with the sweetest bliss
Breathing into our imaginations and our fantasies
A pleasure only known in a first kiss

The words spoken from her ruby lips ignited every heart
As their magic laced a spell upon the land
We all embraced her story, enchanted by her wind
As she hypnotized us all with the movement of her hands

She told us all of exquisite lands afar with seas of misty blue
Where every day the sun never fails to shine
As we inhaled the beauty of the lovely vision she evoked
We swiftly traveled to these places in our minds

Now we are all here in these lands with wings of velveteen
As her magic wind contained the sweetest spell
Flying free and gracefully, as butterflies we have become
Because we all were enchanted by her tale

There is a face in the mirror intently staring back at you
Attempting to recognize the one it views
You are spellbound for one quick moment, in such wonderment
As your eyes meet, and you both realize that it is you

Was it not just yesterday that you were young and naive
Without the wisdom you now hold in your eyes
Now a stranger is boldly looking back with an unflinching gaze
Brazenly daring you to try her on for size

You briefly pause in sheer amazement at these eyes you see
Beaming back at you with a strength unknown
You smile in appreciation and accept yourself as your own
Sit up proudly and put your makeup on

Whoever would want a heart that does not belong to them
Is this not asking for a world of pain
A bittersweet induction into the hall of fame
Where lonely tears of sadness and regret are contained

Why ever do we long for the one who can never be our own
With the knowledge that their heart is not free
Perhaps we think in time we can change their mind
If our adoring heart, they will only see

There are so many lonely hearts existing in this world
Ever searching for someone to call their own
Now if they can ever catch the eye of the ones who cry
Perhaps neither one of them would have to be alone

If you happen  just to find, your heart is one of these
Ever roaming these lonely halls of fame
Instead of wasting all your precious time in sadness and regret
Step out and find a heart that feels the same

I am existing in a fishbowl, which I bid to be my life
Exposed to every eye that wishes to see
Several random bursts of emotion and personality
And swim here in my fishbowl with me

I swim here in the swift current of my feelings
No holds barred, for all to see
Expressing what so many of us feel inside every day
Not ashamed one bit, to reveal the inner me

If you ever freely choose to reveal your soul
To swim out in the open water free
You may come on and jump right in my fishbowl
And openly swim through life with me

Why you have waited all these years certainly puzzles me
To summon your memories of the past
Is there a possibility that you never truly revealed
The feelings that you wore under your mask

Or have you now found the independence that you clung to
To be too cold when you lay down to sleep each night
Now that your wandering heart is tired and no longer restless
You want the love that you let go back in your sight

I seem to recall, you never had any fear of being lonely
Of growing old with no one there to hold your hand
Now I wonder as I stand and look at your smiling face
If you were just afraid to lose command

For years on end, your memory haunted special places
Deep inside this loving heart that you broke
How can you expect me to understand and extend my hand
I am so sorry, but I am laughing at the joke

Your words are heard throughout my changing mind
Saturating every part of my senses
Profusely renouncing all of my kind affections
Can you not see me building my shield of defenses

Your exasperation with life itself crushes my resolve
To see this world with you in a better light
As you seem to distrust each one who crosses your path
When I know each dog I see does not bite

All your subtle insinuations, unbendable points of view
Places a shadow on the light here in my heart
Yet, I will not permit you to ever steal my joy
Even if from your presence, I must forever part

I have always been in awe of your judgment and your wisdom
Deeply respected your opinion as your own
However, I will not be forced to think and act as you do
So for now, I will leave you alone

I heard the sweetest words in barely more than a whisper
Under the resplendent light of the glorious moon
From the lips of the one who set my heart ablaze in a glance
Then disappeared from my world way too soon

Now I find I search continuously to the ends of the Earth
For the lips that softly whispered my name
As the one who swiftly ignited my heart in a glance
So quickly left me all alone to tend the flame

I hold the whisper of his sweet words of love inside my soul
With a memory, that keeps the fire eternally bright
As I tend the flame with the vision of the eyes that I love
Held closely to my heart every night

Am I forever destined to tend the fire that burns in my soul
As I search for the lips that kindled the flame
Or will my searching eyes finally look once again into his
And hear him softly whisper my name

You are blindly following the spirit of an unexpected passion
Lingering persistently in your soul
Possessing you with an intensity so delightful and inviting
Until you find yourself losing every bit of self control

An incredible sense of yearning consumes you with a fire
Swiftly emblazoning a path around your heart
You will find the brilliance it engraved, inscribed upon your soul
Not ever to be forgotten or impart

When you have blindly followed the spirit of an expected passion
The sweetest love into your soul it will apply
As it will posses your own spirit until you lose self-control
And its admission to your heart, you cannot deny

Promises made beneath the moonlight amass in unison
To sing their entrancing song to the stars
Intoxicating lyrics so sweetly sung in harmony
Persuades the most radiant one to brightly beam from afar

Such alluring suggestions ring throughout each stanza
Compelling the brightest star to outshine
Each of its bright companions with its luminous light
As its own shining radiance, it refines

Reaching out into the heavens, the star beams with delight
Burning with all the essence it holds inside
Awaiting all the promises made beneath the moonlight
Anxiously hoping that its light does not subside

I see your arms reach out to hold me in your sweet embrace
But I cannot lift my own to reach out to you
Your eyes smile into mine and I want so much to smile back
But the smile in my heart just does not reach

All these feelings that I know you have for me I can truly see
How I wish I could return the same to you
I see the love that shines from your eyes so brightly now
But my eyes cannot light up the same way too

Your heart you offer up to me in your unconditional way
With eyes that plead with me to give my love to you
But I am not able to reciprocate in turn
As I already loved another before I even knew your name

There has never been any cause to doubt in this heart of mine
That the love you offer to me would be so ever true
How I wish that I could return your love and your embrace
But my heart is not my own to give to you

Serenity infuses an unbounded peace that flows within
A refuge in unwavering tranquility
Possessing an intensity so luminous and warm
Breathed into the very soul of me

As I reduce the rate of speed, in which my world spins
A calming glow emanates from me
Enlightening my very essence from the peace, I feel within
Releasing all my fears into the breeze

I look into the evening’s glow as the sun sets in the West
While crimson shades of amber flood my sight
And I release the stresses of my day with the setting sun
While breathing in the peace of the coming night

I have found my refuge in unwavering tranquility
In the calmness of the ending of my day
Serenity, which is boundless, has infused my very soul
As I quietly watch, my worries slip away

A brush of the warmest fingertips ignites the burning flame
Existing in the sheets of the forbidden reaches
Quickly captivating all the fragile seeds of the perfect gathering
While providing them with the sweetest flight of release

Inimitable reflections surround the purest form of yielding
Sufficiently opening the most tender bloom
Such a majestic revelation unassuming in its glow
Sweetly fills the untouched air with its perfume

The forbidden reaches eagerly consume the warmest touch
Oblivious to their state of vulnerability
Entrusting all their fragility to the burning flame
Glowing in the sweetest flight of release

The shifting sands beneath my feet caress my wandering soul
Inciting in me the urge to roam and stray
Each grain invokes a message that whispers to my feet
Enticing me to visit untried places faraway

The warmest breezes brush my face and motivate me onward
To explore this world and see what I can find
Persuading me to listen as they sing into my senses
That just to stay here in this place, will keep me confined

I look up into the bluest skies and see a soaring eagle
And listen as I hear him bravely calling out to me
To follow in his path and look out through his eyes
Inviting me to fly so high and free

In these shifting sands of life I wander through each day
Taking step by step, come what may
I pray to always be motivated to explore untried spaces
And that my heart will never be lead astray

Foolish superstitions bring apprehension to the stand
Paralyzing the heart of the bravest man
Fiercely gripping him in a fear so impetuously insane
He merely looks at you in wonder, when you ask his name

Infestation of delusion spreads throughout his senses
Freezing him and all his logic a bitter cold
As a black feline runs across his path, you can see him lose it all
While gripping tightly to the steering wheel he holds

For seven years now, he has mourned the loss of his Lady Luck
While imprisoned in the mirror that he broke
As he believes this to be, the cause of all that has gone wrong
One can almost feel sorry for this poor bloke

The worst days of the year may be his untimely demise
As each time Friday the 13th comes into play
You can see him slowly lose his mind as he makes attempts
To avoid anything and everything that day

I cannot imagine living in this world of dreadful fear
Such a distressful existence this would be
Believing in the lies of old wives tales and bad omens
Is certainly not the choice in life for me

The music must be heard by both to remain enchanted
She told him with the whispering of a smile
The force of attraction is a powerful emotion she added
Then slowly walked away and left him standing in the aisle

He mulled her words over in his head for a bit you see
As confusion and irritation began setting in
He shook his head in wonder trying to figure this one out
Trying to figure out where he went wrong again

Yielding to confusion, bewildered and perplexed
He thought about all the things he had done for her
The jewelry and the cards, all the flowers he had sent
Not to mention the new car and the furs

Yet it never crossed his confounded mind even one single time
That perhaps there were things he might have missed
Such as the giving of his time, the precious gift of self
The warmth of a tender hug, and a gentle kiss

So alone he now stands with her bouquet in his hands
No “I do", will he hear from her sweet smile
A sudden dawning of realization hits him where it hurts
Perhaps he should have been there, once in awhile

She drew a small circle in the burning sands of time
To convey her vehement message of truth
A merit so worthy of honor and praise from the ones
Who gathered to survey her prelude

They watched as she tenderly touched each grain of sand
With her fingertips, so delicately fine
Each one holding their breath to see what would happen
Wondering if the circle would affect their own time

Each delicate movement, each brush of her fingers
Brought forth new triumphant sighs
As each relieved eye in the crowd looked and cheered on
When no change to themselves was applied

In one final swift movement she finished with flourish
The small circle she had drawn with her hands
And the world as they knew it disappeared into nothing
Like the sands of time, they allowed her to command

Unspoken words lie deep within the caverns of your heart
Consuming you in anguish in their silence
So ruthless in their stand to stay all bottled up inside
They reflect upon your pride with feigned innocence

They speak to you of the grim rejection you will surely find
If you divulge the passion which you feel
Reminding you of the many tears that you have cried
Each time that your true feelings were revealed

You can continue holding all these unspoken words inside
As you listen to the echoes of the fear they resound
But your heart will always wonder if the pride which kept them there
Also kept you from the love you had finally found

The statuesque stones were once placed in a circle so grand
Safely surrounding the secrets hidden within
Perchance as protection from the distribution of inequity
That raged from the inner recesses of man

An infinite hedge of fortification so majestic in its defense
Still stands proudly holding all the secrets within
Perhaps of the cycles of life or passing of time
Heatedly debated for ages by man

So many have come to observe this mystical circle
To meditate upon its original plan
Oblivious to the fact that what could be so simple
Can often be perplexing to man

These statuesque stones still bravely defend the secrets
While the mystified onlookers stare
Believing if the reason were simple for their existence
It would be such a sad and distressing affair

Can you see the precious releases as they dissipate
Inviting ardent admiration from us all
Appeasing the beseeching eyes of so many of us here
In the scattered dispersing of their fall

Such luminous wonders sustained by minute gestures
Of clarity in their mystical opaque releases
Appearing at first glimpse to stream from above
As if from the floodgates of secret places

A bountiful acclaim can be seen in the new animation
Of the recipients of these precious releases
As they blissfully absorb new life into their essence
Pleasing our eyes, with a beauty that never ceases

True confessions of the day, which never seem to end
Often bring deep shadows into light
When exasperating tales of how we crush each other’s spirit
We bring home to our loved ones and recite

To forget about the day and come home with just a smile
So often, we quickly forget that this we need to do
Instead, we bring the awful grief that has been left at our feet
Into our homes to rest upon the ones we love so true

Now I will be the first to admit that we all need a shoulder to cry upon
Someone to tell about the gist of our unpleasant day
Yet I think most would agree with me, if given a choice outright
That our homes should be a refuge, come what may

When you travel through the door of your most blessed home
Shake the exasperated dust of the day from your feet
Greet your loved ones with a smile and rest there for a while
Leave the worst of your day there on the street

I rest upon the windowsill of life’s great expectations
Watching as the world spins by so fast
Not blinded by all the well established estimations
The world brings into our vision from the past

Curiosity and depth of soul have made me who I am
Proudly resting in my own individuality
Watching with no expectations from the windowsill of life
Freely existing in my own personality

Who you are and what you do is of great interest to my soul
Yet I have no expectations of you my friend
I am so very happy to watch you from the windowsill of life
Free to be the individual you hold within

If you will come and sit beside me and rest upon life’s windowsill
We will watch together as the world spins by so fast
Just accept me as I am and I will do the same for you
Such a splendid friendship we will have

Drifting fragments of havoc float listlessly along the laughter
Echoing gently through all the minute strands
As well calculated overtures of bursts of opposition
Seeking an innocent quarry to command

Disconnected vagrants, sages of confusion
Erratically whisper in your ear
To yield to all the chaos floating on the laughter
Inviting you to exist among their fear

Such skillful masters of perplexity exist as bits of havoc
Offering up confusion to us one and all
Will you listen to the whispers offered in the laughter
Or turn your head and disregard their call

These drifting bits of havoc though laughing may appear
To float listlessly without a single care
Are searching for a quarry, to sink their laughter in
A victim to exist, in their chaotic fear

Indistinct moments of brief respite flow into the room
Where the consequences of your actions lie
Bringing a false sense of relief to rest upon your brow
Until the next time you look into your eyes

The candidness of the mirror suspended within this room
Smiles in all its feigned innocence at you
Sending out a call to come and look upon the wall
Into the very eyes, which reveal the truth

Take a deep breath and enjoy the moment of brief respite
Flowing into your conscience as a reprieve
As soon the mirror will be calling out in laughter
   Come here, and take a look at me

The mirror’s name is Karma also known as Fate
Her call is mighty powerful and strong
The vision that she holds is determined by your actions
Come take a look and see if I am wrong

The vagueness of the picture at hand hangs in the balance  
So elusive in all its logical respectability
You find you are falling over the meaning of all that is there
Because you cannot see the forest for the trees

An intrusion, such injustice, flows into the scheme of things
Delivering a crushing blow to all that you can see
So now how clear is this picture, hanging in the balance
As you stand without a shred of your dignity

A shade of gray has entered the picture with neutrality
Your sense of logic no longer holds the key
What was once so vague and elusive is now clear as a bell
As all of the forest you begin to see

Put aside for just one moment all the logic that you hold
Dare to see a dream of impossibilities
You may find the picture is not as vague as you think
When you open up your eyes and truly see

The sweetest breath of morning has quickly stolen into view
Such a lovely way to bring in the start of day
When morning breaks into your sleep with the softest moves
That rushes in and takes your breath away

The softest moves escalate into a frenzied touch of wonder
As the morning light touches upon your face
Your world of sleep so swiftly leaves its place of rest
To keep in stride with this onrush of pace

An atmosphere of stillness breaks as the wonder rushes in
Sweetly filling every open crevice in your soul
A dreamlike state while wide awake floods onto your skin
  As the intensity of the moment takes control

Now who could ever say in truth and truly be alive
This is no way to bring the morning’s glory in  
To awake and look into the eyes of the one you love
And feel the softest moves of wonder once again

Collected skeins of unraveled words drift along in space
Existing in the complexity of time
Bits and pieces of exchanges between two hearts
Containing the mysteries of their rhyme

Sweetness held in close regard never to be revealed
Lies waiting between each and every line
Of the secrets that the words themselves contain
Safely locked away to never be defined

Time will ever hold these words in its warm embrace
As a divine reminder of a love so true
A legacy to only be unraveled by two loving hearts
Exchanging words of love the way we do

These skeins of unraveled words exist here in this time
Complex and yet so simple in their truth
Rhyme, reason, or their secrets, are not to be defined
Until read, by two hearts in love so true

I watch you from the window of the deepest part of my mind
As I attempt to feel the depths of your soul
Oftentimes I wonder about the feelings that rush through
Do they belong to me of if they are part of you

A thrill, a quick rush of excitement, courses through my veins
One of the two of us, is having a lovely day
An oncoming sense of dread, foreboding in my head
Trouble, is coming for one of us straight away

It is so hard for me to explain, these onslaughts of emotion
Other than to chalk it off to being knowing
Please do not think that I, am sifting through your psyche
I am just a sensitive soul, who knows where she is going

One would think you’d find it nice, to have a friend so in tune
With your shifting moods, as they come and go
So do not take offense when I rifle through your soul
As your feelings, are all I wish to know

I dance upon the swiftly moving waters
That roll throughout your mind
With a fevered pitch
That lights your senses fine

I see you as you watch in fascination
As I bend and dip and sway
Moving to the music that plays inside your mind
Dancing in the shadows of your day

Undulating feelings flow throughout your soul
Close your eyes and feel my pulsing beat
Lose yourself inside, the movement of my body
Watch the fire ignite below my feet

I dance upon your swiftly moving waters
I am the fantasy you breathe
The burning fire of your imagination
Come and dance with me

Independence has run the race and is the victor in my soul
I am always free to be the one I choose to be
No ties that bind wind round my heart
Yet in this victory won, I have no one to hold

Alone I am and standing tall and proud
My head I hold so high
But when I lay me down to sleep
Are these the tears of freedom that I cry?

A choice I have made to live this life
Of freedom without chains
To go and do as I **** well please
With no one to call my name

Most days I smile and thank my lucky stars
For this freedom I have pursued
But sometimes when all grows quiet here
To myself………I wonder what I do

Elegant slivers of vibrant design flutter among the weave
Dancing in circles that utter no audible sound
All through the mystery of unscathed expressions
Spoken without existing in all that is profound

The philosophical views of the imminent day to begin
Enlighten the few and discourage the masses
While impeding the progress of the fluttering slivers
As they circle while counting their losses

Discouragement and disdain will empower the masses
If the slivers willingly sanction their greed
Instead of continuing their dance in the intricate design
In this existence of rebellion they lead

If you are an elegant rebellious sliver who flutters alone
While dancing quietly in your own way
Speak loudly and proudly of what you can see
Or the masses will seize the day

Streams of lilac fragrance flows throughout the room
Of standing visitation now unneeded
While awakening the silver crescent of the knowing moon
To radiate on unique treasures now left unheeded

A marble statue stands alone, wearing just a smile
Greeting the brilliant light in all his glory
Just a beautiful cold remnant of a lonesome past
Still wishing to tell you all his heroic stories

You quickly look upon the visions there and pass into your own
While breathing deeply of the sweet perfume
Recalling a time of yesteryears gone by a bit too quickly
Until you find yourself to deeply there consumed

A masterpiece of long ago a treasured piece of time
Still standing in the rooms for visitation
Take a moment of your time to travel with his smile
He will take you there, with no hesitation

Reality slipped right under my door tonight
Breathed on me and woke me from the deepest sleep
I opened my eyes and there she was
Staring intently back at me

The truth delivered was right in my face
Changing this life that I know
When reality slipped under my door tonight
I knew exactly where I had to go

She showed me visions of that which I miss
Of two arms that held me close
The reflection I saw in her eyes was of you
Telling me all that I needed to know

Then I looked even deeper into her eyes
Seeking to see the same
And I saw your face looking back at me
Calling out my name

A magical spell weaved deeply into your soul
Controlling your every desire and wish
Has taken your dignity like a thief in the night
And left you alone in the midst

You sing to the shadows that cling to the walls
Of the empty caverns left there inside
That once held the lifeblood of freedom’s design
That poured into the veins of your pride

A wistful whisper of longing is heard in the night
A deep echo resounds through the skies
As you cry to the stars and the moon up above
To send down relief from your plight

Now the night finds you traveling to places unknown
To fill this emptiness from which you try to hide
While the skies rain down tears of anguish and pain
Into the hollow caverns of your stolen pride

You are afloat on troubled waters and sinking ever fast
Struggling for every breath, you try to take
Where’s this needless measure of treading getting you
When all your problems never seem to slake

The water is at your chin now, slipping towards your lips
As the shore moves quicker from your sight
You best get a grip now, before you go and lose it all
Start discovering that you have lost this fight

All this pain that you are creating, that is eating you inside
Is it really worth the price you will have to pay
You best stand up in the water and pull yourself up straight
If you have any plans to see another day

The troubled water is the life you live, this existence that you hold
While clinging to the remnants and the shame
Turn fast against the current and swim for all you are worth
Or go right under and do not accept the blame

The chains that bind have shattered now and rusted clean away
No longer will they hold your life or you
As droplets formed upon the grass, they have dissipated
Leaving freedom’s bell to ring so clear and true

Look yonder to the great blue skies and spread your tiny wings
Soar high and free upon the whistling winds
Journey far away from here and discover who you are
While learning how to exist in your own skin

Perhaps you will learn as days go by and hold this truth to you
Those chains that bound you never did exist
Except only in your mind, along with your inhibitions
And the views, which you have now dismissed

A day will come when you may fly right back here to me
Perhaps you will gently light upon my hand
Stay with me for a while and watch me proudly smile
As you fly off,  with your life at your command

You long for the heat when the sun does not shine
Yearn for everything you cannot hold
Chasing those hazy shadows of distant desires
While that which you have grows cold

You circle the deep valleys, skip a few tiny stones
Quickly throw away all that you see
Not that it matters at all what you do
It makes no difference to me

I am your clear vision, your indistinct past
Your future has already been told
What are you doing with that which you have
While the cards you are dealt unfold

Look at the cards spread there on your table
Now tell me your aces are high
I’ll show you different when I hand you the mirror
And laugh as you look in your own eyes

Angelic sounds fill the earth from every side you see
Lovely music made to thrill the soul’s desires
A lilting melody played upon the harps of purest gold
That melts your heart and lifts your spirits higher

Melodic strains of beauty rare float upon the skies
Contained in each soft sweep of angel wings
Brushing hearts once so cold and bare
Now inspiring them to sing

Lyrical passion thrills these souls with the softest shout
Racing through their hearts like darts of fire
The sound which only new love can bring
From a heart that’s been inspired

Shadows pool around you as if a part of your soul
They wrap around your body and hold fast
Falling to your knees, you cry out in confusion
“Please, don’t let these shadows last”

Thin streams of light shine through the darkness
A savior, your rescue, a friend?
You reach out to touch them, pull them to you
However, they quickly slip right out of your hands

You kneel shivering in the icy cold the pools have delivered
Still reaching for the thin streams of light
While fighting your way to find relief from the darkness
That has taken the breath from your life

A strong gust of wind suddenly blows from your spirit
Quickly chasing the dark shadows away
As you stand up in full armor, triumphantly free
Of the shadows that darkened your day

I wanted to find the moment when I should have known
Felt the bone-chilling cold in my soul
Yet I never saw the lights blazing, staring straight ahead
Never saw this dream of mine grow cold

So beautiful and imposing, my heart stood no chance
Of rectifying the damage that was done
All of my best intentions to forever stand alone
Were banished in the moment that you walked in my sun

Now all my dreams of perfect solitude I have tossed in the wind
From the very moment that I first saw your face
Alone as I planned, you destroyed with your hands
A splendid love you left there in its place

This bone-chilling cold I felt down in my soul
Has been replaced, with a white-hot fire of delight
My heart soars in the air and smiles with no end
As together, our two hearts, take flight

Empty hollow lines of many different lengths
Are loosely meshed upon the floor
Filled with bits of time forgotten
Yet never swept outside the open doors

Tiny pieces of fragile moments lie
Untouched and yet special and so rare
Forever to be quietly hidden
From never ending stares

Stares that hollow out the grain
Of wood unfinished but still not new
That burn and turn into a ring
Creating what is true

Round and round in circles cleanly cut
The victim of the spin
Hides and swirls in sight unseen
Spinning in the wind

I removed my glorious wings for just a while
To walk about here on this ground
Now I am so afraid to put them back on and fly again
A terrible fear of heights I have suddenly found

This whole charade is crumbling now all around my head
As I quake in fear at the very thought of flight
Yet I sit and look upon these wings of mine and long
To take off and fly with all my might

As I sit and stare at my wings the only sound I hear
Is that of my own racing heart still beating
In the stillness I stop and realize without my wings
Myself I have been defeating

I gather all the strength I know I hold inside of me
And put my glorious wings back on
With a cry of triumph heard around the world and back
I spread my wings and I am gone

In the walls of my heart hidden but not silent
I love you from a distance
This love lights up my heart with a glow
With its luminescent existence

Every corner is lit with this glow so profuse
Radiant yet still silently concealed
This love I hold for you from this distance
Shines out but is never revealed

I love you in my silence here from afar
So deeply without any voice
I smile inside, as I know you love me too
And  would be with me if given a choice

I listened to the hush that immersed the day
And could not stand the stillness
I felt the deepest hunger in my soul to try to see
What I could do to fill this

This silence worried me and yet I did not know
Exactly what it was I hungered for
I only knew that this discontentment that I felt
Was something I absolutely abhorred

Tears shimmered in my soul at this frustration felt
In this emptiness in which I did abide
While this hunger continued gnawing in my soul
My whole being began to cry

With sudden jubilation, I realized exactly what I needed
To end this emptiness that I felt inside
And as I lifted up my voice in song and sang aloud
My hungering soul no longer cried

I send delightful messages in bottles to the one I love
Across a boundless sea that exists only in my mind
Such lovely words I send him every single day
However, my heart wonders if these messages he will find

Tender words of love inscribed by my heart’s pen
So lovingly written in a crimson shade of red
I write them every day and watch them float in the wind
So like my heart, sweetly drifting away

I rest upon the burning sands of a shore I have created
In my yearning heart’s eye so very long ago
And I wait to hear back from the one that I love
Just to know that he loves me so

I want to run in the sunshine, plunge into my sea
Yet, I sit and wait to hear back from my love
And I wait and I wonder if he ever thinks of me
As I give another message in a bottle, a gentle shove
