Lost At Sea - New Tanka

wind carries the cries of lost souls departed hence. Claimed in the white foam of a turbulent spring tide.... St Nicholas* comforts them * St Nicholas patron saint of sailors penned 31 March 2015

This one has a deep, and sad feeling, of the difficult life, and loss of the men who went to sea. Such a unique tanka ! Congratulations Seren!
