message in a bottle
Audrey Cook 1955 (Los Angeles)
I sit here in wonder
what I did to see the forces of the earth change
and all my molecules rearranged
from gentle wor.ds
loving words
so in awe of the outreach
my soul ran to the beach
disbelief of the confetti of joy
that diverted my eyes towards the sea
and all doubts are deployed
I find pearls instead of pleas
wonder instead of a freeze
I kiss the earth that has made me free
out of the blue
just like the sea
a message in a bottle
returns its contents to me
and lets me dream
