TheDarknessWithin

~ Mysteries and Mischief ~

to finding;

“She stands wistfully gazing out to sea,

A maiden of times gone by you see,

Her long dark hair blowing in the breeze,

Her long silken robes in death a freeze.

The dark shore beckons her toward the water,

Once she was someones earthbound daughter,

Her beauty cannot be seen in the picture,

But all the same her presence doth capture.

The ghost that haunts the darkened shore,

Beckoning lost sailors yet some more,

Might they see her and try to anchor,

But run aground and into spirit enter?

The darkened cobalt skies and sea,

Ebbing tides and inner loneliness be,

Deep within her soul implanted,

The life that once she had been granted.

Oh lady of the sea now ghostly,

Only the waves can hear your voice mostly,

Splashing up on your greying ghostly robes,

The wetness bathing your unrested soul which probes....

Probes for answers deep within,

Immortality now the price of your earthly sin,

But where will you wander beyond the sea,

Will you take me with you let me see?”

The briny smell of the sea buffeted inland by stormy weather

Flickering candlelight through the glass of a small lantern

Blustery wind that makes your hair tickle your face until you give in and pull it back

Lonely walks on the beach, deserted after the tourists have fled the cold and rain and returned to their homes

Treasures washed ashore- seashells, kelp, sometimes glass
