~ written for Writer's Island
Message in a bottle, take me away;
Float me to an island and another day.
A day where I can find sunshine and ocean sounds;
A day where I don't have to make 100 technology rounds.
Peace, and slowness I seek to survive;
All of this frenzy, it's a wonder I am alive.
Message in a bottle take me where you might.
Follow the ocean's waves let our destination take flight.
I am open to change whatever it may be.
It's from the rigors of life that I wish to be free.
Free to explore what possibilities might be there
Message in a bottle please take me anywhere.
I will follow you blindly, safe inside your core
Message in a bottle please offer me something more.

Really beautiful.I loved it--such a simple request--yet it asks so much!Keep writing.
I like the rhyming!
Great rhyme pattern and a sentiment with which many can identify!
"Float me to an island and another day"
I love the image of floating to another day.
i feel so absolutely fortunate to be me today as i read this and i know i am unencumbered,, i do what i want with the technology i enjoy,, but i feel no pressure... this was lovely....
Some days it would be so nice to be afloat and free and warm and open and imbued with adventure and hope. I love the feeling you've put into this piece!
