Message in a Bottle

Inspired by Vincents Prose Poem

Dear Friend,

If you should find this message on a distant shore

somewhere on an island of no return;

Please know my words have traveled a long way

upon the waves of turbulence,

in the heat of the sun and the light of the moon~

I was calling to you from the crest of the waves

waiting for you to find me.

Hold this bottle in the warmth of your hand

because it was a long cold journey

this thing called life~

I was just a soul like you,

but my life is almost over and these words

you read breathes new life into me~

Remember when there is no one to love you;

feel my words wrap around your soul

because I know now that you found

“my message in the bottle”

The spirit in which this message brings

will forever live and breathe in your heart~

If you have ever loved and lost

and tasted fruit of the forbidden tree

remember life will go on, and the moon

will always shine and maybe next time

they will be worthy of you~

And if you don't find that special someone

remember you still have a chance;

because I'm afraid it is too late for me.~

Next time you have a romantic dinner;

light a candle within this bottle

so that I may smile within the flame

and dance within the shadows.

Love,

Blue~

Amazing, truly amazing Rose. I felt as if I were the one standing on that distant shore reading this message. I could feel the combination of sadness and joy as the words crossed my eyes. The wind off of the sea, the salted aroma of the skies, I experienced it all. Very cool indeed.

Great piece... felt like i opened the bottle myself.

[SyberRose]

Thats good...it was sort of a challenge...kind of like the challenge you gave me.:)

[Travis Gibson (poetic heroics)]

I dare not challenge such a masterful pen. I know what you mean tho, sometimes we have to see where i pen goes when the head leads instead of the heart.

OMG! I wrote one of these in school but I lost it. >.<

This was amazing Rose ~ It's such an inspiring write to people who have lost loved ones and haven't been able to move on 'cause the pain is too much. Loved the wording and imagery.

Yes I did, and I melt something to get ink 'cause we had to pretend we were actually stranded with no pencils. It was so much fun.
