Odds

08 May

 

Sometimes

this feels like

sending a message

in a bottle

hoping it will find

your sea

your shore

your hands

your eyes

your heart

your soul

yet knowing

the odds against

it reaching you

are infinite.

    Have you ever actually sent one? I’ve always wanted to, but don’t live near the ocean anymore.

      Once, as a small child, on my first visit to the sea. I am absolutely certain it ended up coming back in on the next tide. We own a place on the coast, but I have never been tempted when there. The virtual sea is better with messages.

        You never know though… your message could have reached someone clear across to another part of the world. Anyway, it’s fun to think of the possibilities. 😉 The virtual sea…. hmmm… I think you’re right. Might have to write a poem about that now. See what you’ve started! 😋Lol…
