The Bottle

A note in a bottle, is tossed out, to sea,
on a quest, a journey, for as long, to be.
The sender, viewing the send off, from near,
the bottle, heading on until it will disappear.

Abroad traveling, through many night and day,
floating along waves, either with a calm or sway. 
Surrounded by blank activity, and action out of the blue,
ships sailing in, creatures swimming, and winds that blew.

Eventually, destination defined, upon it's various age,
for the first time since, the bottle, onto shore, it's stage.
A receiver comes, as they jog with their dog, along the ocean,
glancing down, he or she sees, the bottle, close there in motion.

Picking up the bottle, with their hand, open becomes the top,
grasping for the note inside, while reading, their mouth will drop. 
For the message written, is definitely important without the stall,
for what is written, is then stated," Is to love, each, one and all."
