Poem
Strung out on a rock next to the sea I thought I felt all there was to be The moon was there and the stars came out Was a clear warm night without a doubt I tossed in a bottle with a note inside Way out into a receding wave Who ever found it could not rescue me there was no need to save I watched it drift out into the blue Then gone by the wave that swallowed My eyes closed by the glare of the moon The darkness broke by the stars that followed The moon and stars remained for the night My mind was drifting; I was weary and tired Dozed off wondering if the bottle came afloat Maybe someone would find it and become inspired. I heard a clinking noise on the rocks aside The bottle was floating, hadn’t gone out to sea I picked it up; the cork was still on tight The message I wrote was dry as could be. I thought I would toss it back into the sea Maybe the next wave would take it way out But then I saw something else inside Someone had found it without a doubt. “I found your angry message and I see that you are hurt’ ‘I could tell it was from you as I could see that in your eyes” ‘I know when you are there; I can see and hear your mood” “You talk to the wind but you voice your lies” “Unknown to you I have been here for awhile” “You will not see me as I live too deep” “The sea is my home I have freedom to swim” “It’s quite the world here, its beauty I reap” “I will tell you later just who that I am” “You cannot live with sorrow, must set it free” “Anger will detain you from pleasure” “Most all you will be confined from liberty” “Give up what binds you, throw it to me’ “All that you shed will lighten your load” “Much weight on your shoulders, you will drown” “You will then lose all and live in my abode” “You see, I was just like you, kept all to myself” “I see that in your frown, I share my empathy” “You can let misery go and stay in the winds” “Or float to the bottom without my sympathy” “If I could have my life to live over, I’d choose to stay “Sitting on those rocks I thought it was best to fall” “I didn’t realize that hope could have kept me there” “Now I am a mermaid in the sea, I lost it all”
