"dead Spirit Walking"

"Dead Spirit Walking" The currents in the sea... ripples its way to be free... The wind blows across the mirrored blue sky.. The sun goes down signaling its last goodbye... The lesser light appears taking its place... The greater one could no longer be traced... The restless spirit walks disturbing the peace all around... Everything grows quiet, there isn't a sound.. The spirit fights a turmoil from within... Turmoil fighting peace; neither “wills” bend… The soul decides whether to live or die... Searching for a reason and why... Inner peace the restless spirit seeks... Life seems so lonely and so bleak... The carvings of life are etched in... Past, present memories are carried by the sea and wind.... Never to be revealed to all the days that follow... Footprints at the edge of the sea, the sand now swallow... The brooding sea ripples up angry waves... Revealing that one more life would not be saved…..

This reminds me of a song by Roy Orbison, "Windsurfer." Enjoyable poem with a touch of sadness. Congratulations Erin on having "Dead Spirit Walking" featured. Vince
