sealed in glass
bottles shipwrecked
souls
washed upon the shores
of dense desert isles
corked in air tight longing to escape
heralding messages
unread
while the tides roll in
receding back infinitely
peer through this
pellucid vessel
marvel at
unknown terrors sunk beneath the waves
hidden horrors buried ‘neath the sand
the fury of the sun
and chaos of the elements
the message endures
as the cracks begin to show
and the water leaks in
