The Message In A Bottle Poem by Phil Soar

The message travelled through a raging sea
A note I penned for all eternity
I placed it in a bottle, and threw it from the beach
And Wondered how far it would go, and how far it would reach

Imagination filled my head, where might it come ashore?
Perhaps a thousand miles away, or maybe even more
Washed up on some remote island, or somewhere more extreme
My note read by someone unknown, perhaps to make them dream

I hoped that someone far away, would feel they'd found a treasure
And hoped they would feel empathy, with the words in my short letter
And after reading from the page, would write one of their own
To make me feel a purpose, for the bottle that I'd thrown.
