I signed it with a kiss and sealed it with a Seashell
From the temple nearby, the goddess blessed with a smile
As I tossed it on the waves, to float across miles
I watched it day and night, losing my sleep
As little fish jumped over it
pulling it deep !It went down - To bring Pearls from a sunken ship !
To remind You, how the Rain touches an Oyster�s lip
There I see it again ! Riding high on the waves
While the wind takes it far and my blue scarf waves
It is crossing the borders, of my lonely shore
And my mind watches it, as eyes see it no more
Across villages, towns and cities, it stops for no one
For You it comes, through ponds, lakes and oceans
Now it has reached the shores of your Homeland
You are not there, but your love is in the air
It seems lost in the warmth of your loving care
Is it the shade of the coconut trees, or is it your love
What is shielding it from the hot sun and soothing it now
Is it the music of the temple bells
Or is it your voiceWhat is it trying to hear, among every other noise
For You - It is collecting the Treasure of your Golden Sands
Your Sweet Coconut water and Sandal fragrance for your hands
It is still lingering there, searching for other colors among Green
And I am not surprised - That now my bottle is Green !
It will come to You, When you stand alone in a crowd
When you design a silver lining to every dark cloud
When you are with friends, watching the seas blue
Tell me My Soul Mate ! If it does not reach there
It cannot be lost in mirages or stopped somewhere
It must have stayed, On the shores of your Homeland
Mesmerized by the touch of the golden sand
Come with me, To search for it there
Come to see, what my letter has to say
Words may be washed out If You wait for ages
But I know, You can read poetry from my empty pages
Come for my letter, On the shores of your Homeland
And write your reply, On the beautiful Golden Sand
