A BOTTLE SPEAKS

JOURNAL # 41

from the distant depths
'A Bottle Speaks'
oh romantic writer
from afar
stained upon crumpled page
buried as it were
within mine guts
what should this
carrier/receiver of thoughts
recite
the loveliness of your lovely words
wove a silk kerchief with but a fractured paw
(for sheep dogs such as yourself do have paws
after all!)
a modest heart felt message
summoned itself to deliver such raw truth
miracles of cognitive flesh reached across
boundaries of time and space
to touch a shore that remained aloof
yet pristine in the present intent
I commend and honor such unadorned declarations
even if they be not to me
still a response was decidedly merited
and there is no greater gift than the words of
the open heart
so merci mon ami merci
a million millennium or more
I reiterate
thank you my friend thank you.............

Author's Notes/Comments: 

My somewhat presumptuous reply to fellow post poems poet Paul Frazier's poem Thrist....... I used your premise most shamelessly please forgive me but hey we must take inspiration from whereist it comes right? besides I know deep down you really don't care that much, yer likely just the tiniest a wee bit flattered eh? anyway enjoy.............
