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
