Description Imagine
a figure
upon a beach

tattered
torn
weary
from his journey to seek…

glancing at the horizon
he spots an Illumination
upon the shore

Illumination he discovers
might be within
his reach

A corked clear bottle
lies there
in the sand

within this bottle
was a message

This is how it began:

Dear Reader…

forever
you
walk

forever
you
seek

forever
you
wearily
wade
wandering
while
wondering…

…life's
many
meanderings

empty the bottle
of what within it
remains

Here you note
the figure
picks up a simple X

place this X
upon your chest
and know that this rings true

for beneath the X
is a treasure
that no one has but you

one
that no one
can ever but you hold

but it's contents
are endlessly richer
then that of silver, diamonds, and even gold

The poem was not nearly as sappy as your author comment LMAO!!! I enjoyed this though, it was well written, the words caught my eyes, and you portrayed your ideas and thoughts clearly and vividly throughout the entire piece.
