The Life Preserver of Life
Cast out to sea alone with no ship
The last ale I drank now with an empty bottle
This message I write will be placed within
Tossing it out to sea
Months and years go by with no one saving me
This message has been lost with no one to read
The waves enter the shore and go back out to sea
This message in the bottle has been lost like me
Sharks all around cycling me as I await my death
Has life stopped reading or are they just blind and deaf
Can they not see this message I send
Lost out at sea with no one but me
One small light I see this night reflecting off the moon
I swim to shore to see and do I find
This empty bottle with this message of mine
My hopes and dreams of finding love
Have disappeared into another empty bottle
Of Wine
Dedicated to: My Brother
My brother’s life after the war drinking himself to death
