Home was in the bottle

Sometimes it feels like

putting notes in a bottle,

our conversations, that is,

as they go line by line

that float away.

There is a distant shared sea

within each of us.

Islands of you and me

are in this deep.

All the ocean currents

strangely bring

most of these bottles

to this one shore

within you

and within me.

You pick yours up

immediately,

open and read . . .

There are salvos

between the lines.

Lights go on

in a darken room

that makes the room itself

much larger.

The walls are in

background smiles.

The sky, eavesdropping,

begs for entry.

These notes are in

an emotional code.

Time reads the fine print

to you directly.

Your blessedness

sees the whole page.

Your visual grip softens

until the notes themselves

levitate.

Eventually

the notes become pageless.

A voice rereads them,

over and over

as if sipping

from their original source.

Each swallow

makes you feel

more inspirationally at home.
