Dear Child of The Universe

The paper you write upon is of a delicate white linen-
You sit with pen in hand
Or
Maybe they are arched over an
ivory keyboard ready to speed across the galaxies of the universe.
As you sit and ponder what you will say.
These words, of ageless time, I share with you.
Let your thoughts flow into the rivers and byways of your life.
Watch them splash like a pebble on water-
Sending ripples to the reader of untold fantasies
Or
Send them tumbling into lashing waters-
Down into the darkened mire of the watery wastes of indecision.
Do not place your thoughts in a bottle -
Sending them out to sea so no eye’s will look upon your sacred thoughts
of
pain, love, and questions about humanity.
Bring them into the light... dear child-
Eye’s will open to your reflections and will hold them with the
warming compassion of love.
They will drink in each word like an intoxicating spirit-
Letting their love spill over you
like a cooling breeze from the oceans of the world.
Do remember
You are never alone
Dear child
Dear child of the universe.

Hugs BonBon

Dear Bonnie, this is indeed beautiful, to share is much better than to keep within, people become friends when sharing.
Thank you for sharing this.

Sincerely
Rick

Oh Bonnie this is lovely.
It's so good to read you once again.

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.

Bonnie~
Not only is it good to see you ... it is wonderful to read your thoughts~

'Do not place your thoughts in a bottle -

You need to, once again, share your talent with us on a regular basis~

I wish I'd had words like this spoken to me years ago, instead of the words I got that stifled the poetic imagination.  What an inspiring piece .. you are gem
