The Cosmos calls us out to play
on nights when we lack the will to pray
It's curtain of stars swirl in breathtaking delight;
angels appear near a dusky-dawn light;
the bodies of water churn ever so slow;
they dispense to humans bottles with messages of hope.
each bottle is black, with ingredients intact, comprised of a love note-
to each person they float.
"Love is forever" read the very first line;
The body of the message, so surreal and sublime;
With a post script from God, saying "You'll always be Mine."
