Beautiful poem, Eric. Thank you.

Wonderful poems, Eric. My own paltry efforts...

Sea Bottle


Sway in the wind
You are all around me like snowflakes and I sign your name in the stars
Sigh your name in the dark
Pour my heart and this ache and that longing into a bottle and toss it into the sea.
I will wait all night on the sand for you.
Will you uncork this bottle pour its contents into God's dreaming mind
and send back a message of that Great Love?
I shall wait -- years, if I must -- for the glitter of your returning message, borne upon
the tides, until it comes to rest at my bare feet,
and with my heart exploding in diamondshower birdsong tears,
clutch your message to my breast and become a seadrop of joy.

So beautiful... Hope you got your returning message...

 

[Fish_Whisperer]

Well.. Sometimes. I think the secret is, this longing IS the return message!

Jelaluddin Rumi wrote, "'Lo, I am with you always,' means that when you look for God, God is in the look of your eyes."

I suppose the same can be applied to human love, which is a reflection of Divine Love.
