• 
  
• 
• 
  
• 
  
•   Like a message lost
• 
  
• As unknown high seas claimed them
• 
  
• Should you swim to look

• A recent theme from an exploration of human emotions.
• 
  
• The questions asked in quiet reflection of the soul, enduring grief.
• 
  
• Should we cling onto those dearly, departed?
• 
  
• 
  
• The Sea
• 
  
• 
  
• The metaphor reflecting the emotional ocean of feelings linked to loss.
• 
  
• Such as denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
• 
  
• 
  
• The image in the bottle.

• Reflects the emotional attachments surrounding the person in question.

Like a message in a bottle.

• 
  
• Such as memories. Stories, etc.
• 
  
• Personally, I think we should always keep looking for them.
• 
  

• To swim deep in that ocean.
• Come what may.
• 
  
• Salute.
