A Message On The Rolling Sea The year eighteen seventy- Waves crashing men fighting for their life, wondering if they will make it once again to a safe harbor. The ship begins to break, the wind roars and this sound is like the cry of a wild banshee in a howling rage. Men pull and strain knowing death is at the door. The mast begins to fall, men thrown into the churning sea. Morning. The sea once again a glass of serene tranquility. Broken shards of a once mighty ship, debris floating everywhere on this quiet morn. A lone man holding onto a fallen mast knows his time is near. He thinks of a love left behind and their last words of anger. He spies a bottle a short distance away and as if the fates predicted his fate a long time ago, a small pencil and a small piece of paper still remains hidden in pocket covered with stains of his broken body. He begins to write, his thoughts not clear. My sweet Annabelle these words I send to you. I love you darling girl and if the gods allow, this message will flow into your loving hands. You have my heart darling girl; there has been no other. Oh! It is so cold. It is getting hard to see. I’m sorry for my angry words, please forgive. So cold, so tired. I seal this bottle with a kiss, my love. Good bye. Be happy my darling girl. Good bye. Bonnie J. |
