the herring and the bottle

a message in a bottle
is difficult to reach,
first you open the bottle,
if you can't you break it

sure now you read
but it may not be for you
and the sender may be
unknown, gone, deceased

and after all this
trouble to open,
to read, why not
leave the bottle be

and see it as surprise
glimmering on the
beach next time
and smile

you will not win
the lottery and all
thought is like
a herring in the sea

floating in its swarm
and still all alone-
stop to break bottles
and leave them be

or write a letter
and send it
in a bottle to
swim to eternity

ps:
tried an interpretation after..
poem on the absurdity of thought
looking for purpose
