Release

Sitting on a sinking stone bench overlooking
headstones overgrown by bramble and bush,
I listen to weak whispers of sad spirits who
await release to the other side.

gentle chimes
pleasing tones
   scattered to the winds
dark shades 
	search the sky

You capture a mood that holds one's attention. You want to turn away from the emotion evoked, but still ... Poetry at its best. Have a great weekend, Linda :)
