Message in a Bottle

Bottle shared with my mom’s bestie; and it was good to share old times; now even this is past times… The good times roll away, like an empty bottle… We’d laugh, discuss, until I had to go and Judy left with an “I love you.” The best thing said between two.

Dear Kim,your poem beautifully captures the fleeting nature of time and the warmth of shared moments. The acceptance of change, especially the final lines are truly touching, showing that sometimes, the simplest words carry the deepest meaning...Hugs

Dear Kim, This one sat with me for a while. It’s so unassuming at first, like a quiet conversation over a bottle, but then it lands ever so soft, final, and deeply true. I loved the way you capture time slipping, not in grand gestures but in the simplest moments with laughter, shared stories, a parting "I love you" is just beautiful. Nothing wasted, nothing overdone, just real. Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

I have always been captivated by the concept of bottles with messages in, whether allegorical or otherwise. From the classic lovelorn Police song to the image of a treasure map contained therein. Your poem though is gentle and sweet and contains it's own treasure. Thank you for sharing. Sx
