Time Capsule

I put a message in a bottle,

And sent it out to sea.

It was full of memories

That would soon be lost to me.

A picture, a letter,

A rusty old key,

To unlock the past,

So someone else could see.

It floated, it drifted

Out with the breeze.

I hoped someone found it, 

But left it for me,

So one day in the future,

Of my ephemeral dreams,

I could sit and teach myself.

How strange it seems.
