What the tide brought in
A letter in a glass bottle
Years.
Years have passed.
since he sent her that glass bottle.
It arrived hastily across the waves,
Straight unto his son’s arms.
🌟
“What’s that?”
-Said Teddy, looking puzzled.
He looked at his father’s eyes.
The eyes she called ”beautiful”.
The eyes that she caressed lovingly
🌟
When they were shut.
Their corners.
Their wrinkles.
Those wrinkles became deeper, softer.
Scott answered,
🌟
”That’s… a memory.”
His wife arrived.
She had also said,
”What’s that?”
Scott replied,
🌟
”I’ll tell you when we’ll come back
home.”
He told her.
About Sienna, his first love.
How this letter in that bottle
🌟
contained the words
“I love you, Sienna”
And when he got back home
From a long family trip
Where he sent her that letter
🌟
He never saw her again.
“But I‘ve got you, Luna,
And it’s all I need.
You’ve everything I’ve asked for.
Sincerely I say so,
🌟
With every bit of my heart.”
She smile, and said,
”Oh I know, Scotty. You’re
What my heart had chosen,
As well.”
🌟
He kissed her on her forehead.

“I told you we were going too far off trail,” said Clark. “I thought Ammon said he could read a compass,” said Kit. “Guys, it’s easy, we just need to find a river or stream and follow it. Those things always lead to civilization,” Ammon said and pushed through thick patch of bushes.
