The Hunt

There’s something at the bottom of This bottle. 
I know it. 
Not quite sure what it is yet,
But there’s something down there;
There has to be. 
Is it a solution?
God no. 
Is it a sense of satisfaction?
Most definitely not. 
But the process of finding 
Whatever it is
Sometimes gives me 
A temporary sense of peace. 
Sometimes. 
Most times though…
Let’s not focus on that. 
Focus on the warm and fuzzy feeling
I get from my search. 
If it feels this good now, 
It has to feel that much better
When I find whatever’s down there. 
I don’t know what’s down there,
But I’ll drown trying to find it.
