7071 – A message

 

In 7071, a young couple moved to a new home.

Exploring the backyard it was obvious it needed,

Care and attention to relive its former blossom.

They started digging at the back fence,

Breaking ground and a few feet down, they found a bottle.

 

It looked old and stained but they could see white paper inside.

They thought whoever buried it was clever.

The bottle was glass and made of silicon,

therefore it wouldn’t rot and hurt the environment.

 

The note read:

 

Poetry helped me survive the dreaded and unknown Covid-19

Only my words and memories distracted my fragile mind

Each time I felt a struggle, I kept pen and paper near by

The struggle was real, lack of leadership from government caused chaos

Rightly people were scared of the unknown. We pulled though.

You don’t have to, but, can I recommend Poetry?

 

P.s You never know what your words might mean to someone oneday. I know Poetry isn’t for everyone but even if you just write for yourself then you may find it helpful as a coping mechanism

 

Kind Regards

 

Brian

P.p.s Your words are worth writing.
