Paper boats

This post has been published by me as a part of Blog-a-Ton 56; the fifty-sixth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write.

Paper boats 
Blinking back tears, the pages of her diary
were soon filled with her heart’s voice.

It was diary he gifted on the day she left.

As she closed her eyes for the journey away,
she made sure, 
that every rainy day
a paper boat floated away
with a secret message.

    1. Hi Viyoma!
      Thank you dear! :) The book called 6 Degrees will be available soon in book stores, and I'll let you know when it does.

      Now that you mentioned it, it does seem apt for this song, right?
      All the best to you too!

    2. There was this pleasant "Ah!" that I said, when I finished reading your lines. The last lines are beautiful to read and visually imagine.
