Message In a Bottle
She stood out by the water,
Her toes in the sand,
Staring out at the moonglade
With a bottle in her hand.
And inside that corked glass
Written on a torn page,
“If you find this message,
Then you are too late.”
Some people don’t mind the thunder
That collides with the crashing waves;
Some people like the rainfall
That cascades down their face.
And for her, the ocean’s solace
Gave her enough strength
To step out into the water
And be carried away.
And to this day, the wind carries her cries;
At least that’s what they say,
And her message in a bottle
Is floating in oceans miles away.
She stood out by the water,
Staring out at the moonglade.
She set the bottle in the water
And watched it float away.
And with that hesitation,
There was a chance to deter;
Though she believed this moment
Was written in the stars.
Some people don’t feel the earthquake
That ravages solid ground.
Some people embrace the fire
That burns safe and sound.
And for her, the ocean’s solace
Was her saving grace
And she went out into the water
To be carried away.
And to this day, the wind carries her cries;
At least that’s what they say,
And her message in a bottle
Is floating in oceans miles away.
And if someone had tried to stop her,
She might have given him the chance.
But her prayers went unanswered,
And she followed through with her plan.
A message in a bottle
Drifting out to sea
A chance to be heard
When no one’s listening.
