I found a message in a bottle Washed up on the sandy shore Where on earth had it come from And who was it intended for? Curiosity got the better of me As I carefully looked around I was making sure that no others Had come to claim this treasure I'd found So I slowly pulled out the cork And read the note I found inside Words of love I found myself reading A gift of love from the incoming tide Visions of all things romantic Swirled dreamily around my head Feelings of love and yearning I felt from each and every word I read These words could have been a love song They were true words of love for sure Beautiful words with so much feeling They were the key to my heart's door A knight in shining armour Galloping towards me on his steed So many wonderful images Came from the words that I did read But all too soon I was back to reality As I put the message back inside I cast the bottle back out to sea And watched it taken with the tide Now I wonder who will find it As it heads on out to sea I hope it brings them joy As it most certainly did for me Suetang |

  (smiles) Awwwwwwwww, this is soooooo beautiful, sweet friend, mmmmmmm...I wonder how it would feel to get a message in a bottle from my love on the oceanside, I bet it must be such a magical feeling! (kiss on cheek) May the message of your love forever touch your heart happily, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Wow...this is wonderful! I have been known to do just this..place a message in a bottle and toss it into the lake...such fun wondering where they may end up. Of course they weren't romantic messages...just fun ones. Enjoyed the read and the memories it stirred up. Thank you for this one...hugs. ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

Suetang...Very intriguing poem. Loved the vision of finding a note of love inside a bottle washed ashore by the cresting sea. ***Ivy Rose |

 Your bottle washed upon my shore, I held it in my hand, then I decided to throw it back to sail away to some far away land. Long ago, I lost faith in love so the bottle wasn’t meant for me. I’m destined to walk the tide alone it was best sent it out to sea. Sue, love message in the bottle tales, this is a keeper! The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives. |

Neat poem Sue! I am always watching for bottles when we're at the ocean. Have never found an intact one, just pieces. It's an intriguing thought, that someone can write a message and cast it into the sea in a bottle and have it turn up somewhere. I heard of one once that had been at sea for years. Much like the fisherman's floats. We have found some of those and it's a big thrill! Betty Lou Hebert |

Thank you all for your lovely comments. Barry, it could well have been from you as the words were so beautifully romantic. As you can see I'm just a dreamer. Take care......Sue Suetang |
