A Bottle in the Sand




As I walked along the shore
The rhythmic gyration of undeterred waves,
Cleared the steps I left behind me,
My trail of footprints were washed to the sea.


It brought to mind how faded memories,
Of loved ones passed on and good times once had,
Wear away with Father Time's relentless,
Erosion of thoughts locked deep in my head.


Before me breakers created new pavement,
Bore possibilities, new unexplored land.
A fresh new horizon developed before me,
An endless beginning with no visible end.


Along the shore I found a bottle,
Buried neck high in a fresh wash of sand.
In it a note, untouched by the elements,
Your new life starts here was all that it said.
