...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?!
~ 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!
