MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
I've drifted across the open sea, I wait for
You to find me,
In a bottle I have been placed, a message
That I am alive.
You are no longer there anymore but I let you
Know I exist,
A thought of what you meant to me, a thought of
What I once meant.
If my message gets to you, yet then again how
Can this possibly be,
You are a memory from yesterday, I am a thought
That sails the sea.
Time does not stop, It has no sympathy, it makes
What is what was,
Life and all that's within it is reduced to memories,
Things of yesterday.
Message in a bottle is what I am, If you find me
Take me for what I am,
You are forever now, I am something that will
One day fade away.

Sometimes, even when we know, that these, recipients of the messages we sent are gone, we still, send the messages out, and, it’s, more for our own, sakes, than, theirs, because sometimes, that is, the only way we have, of, finding that, closure we, desperately, needed, in order to, get on, with our, lives…
I appreciate all of your thoughts.
