The Purple Sky

A letter in the bottle
Drifted on and wobbled
A safe port was not to be reached
Nor a golden beach

Majestic waves
They pulled away
The chance of being surveyed
The message in the bottle stayed
With its silent prayer

When I close my eyes at night
In my mind
Nothing is changed
The comfortable frame
Alive and aflame

When I close my eyes at dawn
Like a dream
Everything is changed
I walk around in an open range

Over the purple sky
Unafraid
And with pride
I see her
Over the waterfalls
Over the ancient walls
I hear her in my calls
To me

Selfless and devoted
All she touched just floated
But unknown to folks around
She's already drowned

Words unsaid
A hidden scar
How could it go so far
How could I know my precious friend
That this would be the end

When I close my eyes at night
In my mind
Nothing is changed
The comfortable frame
Alive and aflame

When I close my eyes at dawn
Like a dream
Everything is changed
I walk around in an open range
