SW 95 Non-story: 'Current'

‘Current’

rare coral on the royal reef
the thread of life dispensed by a plume
from openings to bathe each other
and thread a new generation of life
by courting the moon on her terms...
an incident once witnessed
unlikely to be forgotten - and yet
bouncing gently like a ball - the message
in the corked bottle stays dry.

“My love for you is boundless like the stars
reflected on the calm ocean waters - I can be
saved by the magic pearl...the one seed grain
that your memory holds dear - throughout the
the layered years...fondly, remember me...”

When she wrote the words, after dining with the
captain that had her abducted - she never expected
them to be found, though she knew they would be
forever engraved upon her true lover’s heart....

    The magic pearl, the one seed grain. That is romantic. I like the image of the water surface, with great depths below and great heights above and that is where the message bobs. Thanks.
