Scattered wishes of peace
Like a million grains of sand beneath wandering soles,
Smooth rippled waves reach out
To embrace and cool
Somewhere in this realm of morning.
Breathing in the words
Gathered like messages in bottles sent
Across the miles seeking saving
As they grasp onto the buoy of love
As if drowning within.
Reaching shore to stand
Beyond the everyday weight that sinks
We learn to swim these waves
To gain strength with each stroke
And each word we write on parchment souls
And we roll it tight and slide it in glass
Capped for future finders
That will read each word and smile,
Realizing we are never alone
In thoughts and feelings that span the globe,
That it could have been written by our own hand
For understanding the universal thought
Love conquers and saves
Us all.
