Bottle Cries

  Put a message in a bottle


fill it with anguish


pain enough 
to fill it full


fling it towards me~
I'll float it with 
tears of my own



searching always
I find them
one by one~

no hiding from 
noticing eyes 


each gathered into
a precious mound 
of stories heard
tears caught
help sent 
comfort brought~

washed up 
to mingle 
tangled 
 in loneliness
found by love

Very, very nice, Kathleen! You have a great sense of how to arrange the images (as well as shoot them). Alone they tell stories; with your poems, the stories multiply.

i love the letter dice, instead of paper...very creative and unique! i love the poem too! "help sent..." there's hope!

Thank you all. Sting inspired this with "Message in a Bottle". We think we are the only ones who feel alone sometimes, but everyone does. It doesn't go unnoticed, this I know. Someone cares.

Wow, this is quite an invitation.
Especially the "fling" part... :)
