Note in A bottle

If I could write my secret
on a star
Then bottle it and
toss it to the sea

Would it travel
to the corners of the Earth,
And echo there
the love I hold for thee?

If I could write my secret
on the moon
Then bottle it and
toss it to the winds

Would it find your heart
So you may briefly know,
Where your love ends
Is where my love begins?

If I could write secret
on the sun
Then bottle it and
toss it throughout time

Would someone from a distant galaxy
Find no greater love
Than that was mine Yet,
I cannot write my secret
on a star,
Nor moon, nor even on
the blazing sun,

Nor bottle words to send them
Where you are
Nor coerce our separate hearts
To beat as one

And so my darling
You will never hear
The humble words of love
I wrote for thee
They remain encrypted,
tightly sealed
And yet they travel on
eternally
