We can move
only
one way on this journey.
On our path we encounter
treasures, gifts,
moments of substance,
and time
worth remembering,
along with the
riff raff and beach glass
that adds colour
to our lives.
We keep walking, we
keep moving, continue
looking for the shiny things
a new tide brings.
You can walk the shoreline
for hours, weeks,
or miles
and never find
a message in a bottle;
but it shouldn’t
stop you from looking.
