Message in a bottle

Message in a bottle

A Poem by MandaBear
"

I saw a quote on someones profile so i turned it into a poem :) Hope you like it :)

"
Sounds of waves crashing against the shore
Only to recede and start all over again
Sometimes calming, Sometimes rough
It all ends the same; crashing at the shore

Seems as though not much goes on
Just crashing all day and night long
Oh, wait there is something in the water
I wonder what it could be?

As the waves draw the object closer 
The awe becomes ever greater
What could it be? Where has it come from?
Who sent it out into the void of the ocean?

Finally the object is close enough to reach
The anticipation comes to a halt
I bent down and grad the object
Only to find it is a bottle but no ordinary bottle.

No this bottle contained a message inside
Oh, what wisdom's does this treasure hold?
Perhaps a secret? Maybe a map?
Only one way to find out.

I opened the bottle removing the cork
I reached inside for the paper within
Opened the paper and read the message
After reading the message I put the paper back 

And put the bottle back in the ocean
Wondering next where the bottle may end up
I bet your wondering what secret the bottle held?
Well the message was simple.........

If you dont understand my silence, how will you understand my words?
