Finding You I wrote you a letter yesterday, Rolled it up like a scroll. Using ribbons of paper mache', I tied it with my soul. I sprayed it with "Eternity". Slipped "Our" picture inside. With every dream of you and me, And all my hope that's died. Then tied it to another string, A helium balloon. Waited to hear the night birds sing, Then went to face the moon. The stars were bright and shining And I knew one held my wish - As my letter held my heart's pining, So I sealed it with a kiss. With a sigh, I looked up to the sky, Touched the letter with a tear. Let the balloon fly, wiping my eye, I watched it "disappear". Knowing long as Heaven holds a star, So my love for you holds true. Wishing no matter where you are, My words are finding you. ------------------ Michael Anderson May Darkness find you all through the day.

Hey, Michael, you got a better chance with that balloon than with the US Postal Service! Excellent poem. |

Michael...this is so touching.....I hope you find your star again soon ------------------ It is better to be silent and be considered a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. |

Very well written, great way to paint your emotional picture. I can feel it all the way over here... And I think I might have seen that baloon one night...  |

ah, to be in her shoes and to be loved like this! ------------------ It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. --W.E. Henley Visit my poetry website: www.geocities.com/Paris/Musee/9954/ |
