A Message In A Bottle

Here is a thousand memories Wrapped inside an old bottle I have been lost for so long Out there in the vastness of the ocean I had no idea where I was going A victim of a terrible nightmare Or a messenger sent to the future I floated in the calmness of the sea And I floated upside down inside the raging waves I have been scathed by the hottest sunshine And have been submerged in the coldest weather I have survived so many shark attacks I have been bitten by so many mosquitoes I have seen the most beautiful night sky An amazing array of stars Gazing at me with intense admiration The beautiful thing called love Enveloping my every being Inside my lonely shell My sorrow and my tears Bottled inside my heart Stood naked among the fish of the ocean I hungered for love I cried for warmth I wished for a better day
