Unrest of Spirit

She ran herself ragged working her fingers to the bone for she didn't want to think about him nor be left alone her feelings were a phantom mirror of her spectre self torn by grief, she had no choice but to face herself .... She closed the porchlight and took a walk to a nearby Bay placing her head in the sand her mind finally began to un-fray Soon the rend of her pain allowed her the finality of letting go as a peaceful feeling sheltered in, like a warm cozy throw.
