~ message in a bottle ~

...hello my dears

do you find that sometimes in life,

you feel shipwrecked?

 by that i mean ~

you have lost your footing

and things appear so upside down,

you feel as though you have awakened

on some deserted island somewhere...

which wouldn't be bad if J.D. were stranded there too

hee-hee!!!

(OH!)

((and WHO may J.D. be? you are wondering?!))

ahhhh...

JOHNNY DEPP

of course!!

(((i know, i know)))

yah, right!

anyhoo

back on that desert island thought...

 

here you are,

making the best of it,

gathering your sticks to build your beach shack,

and a sand storm blows outta nowhere and

BURIES

you

 

 

darn!

and those were pretty sticks too:)

FINE!

no problem you say

as you brush the sand off

and dig your heels in deeper.

 i'll look for a cave of shells instead...

not quite what you had envisioned

but you can make this work!!

after a long spell of shell cave hunting,

you close one eye for a bit of rest

(you know those starfish are carnivores ~ RIGHT?!?)

as you gaze up to those vultures circling above

 your thinking to yourself,

"self ~ how in the h-e-double-toothpicks did this all happen??)  

self doesn't say nothin'!

self!

SELF!
~ are you listing?!

nope!

~ but listen closely my dears ~

HE is!!

 one random day

you catch a glimpse of a bottle floating towards you

~ glee ~

perhaps a friend sent a "message in a bottle" to your floating island...

(them "c.i.a.gulls" know too much!!)

 

and there is no mistaking it.

a gift from a dear friend

has a message

L-O-U-D and clear...

 

 

your singed eyebrows furrow with disbelief

as a salty tear rolls down your sand stained face

you watch the clouds roll away

 as the SON shines down upon your greasy hair

(who knew travel size shampoos really ARE useful!!)

...grant it

you are still on that island ...

but you know that HE loves you

and He's got your back...

 

 

thank you my sweet friend,

for a most lovely mermaid's purse!

the fairies embellished it a wee bit :)

sharing this fairytale with

faded charm's: white wednesday

here's to those messages in a bottle!
