Message in the Bottle
Heaving, bobbing, swirling,
rolling about, to and fro
With currents and waves it
moved, high and low
An empty bottle though
not a discard at all
It was on a mission which
was not all that small
Sealed tight with a cork against
damage from water
Desperate message written on
it, a tiny roll of paper
Someone's fate depended on
the bottle's destination
But some such bottles have taken
centuries for their mission
rolling about, to and fro
With currents and waves it
moved, high and low
An empty bottle though
not a discard at all
It was on a mission which
was not all that small
Sealed tight with a cork against
damage from water
Desperate message written on
it, a tiny roll of paper
Someone's fate depended on
the bottle's destination
But some such bottles have taken
centuries for their mission
