SPIRIT She walks the paths within the woods, Her feet bare touch the ground, In flowing gown, and ghostly glow, She never makes a sound. She seeks to find her lover, Her eyes are weepy red, Her hair, unkempt and matted Is piled high upon her head. Her lover died a soldier’s death Upon a field of green, Buried in an unmarked grave No end by her was seen. In sorrow her own life she took, She didn’t want to stay, Just one more human casualty Of the Blue and Gray. So long she’s trod within these woods, Forlorn, beyond compare Just searching for her lover, Who is neither here nor there. How sad to see this lonely soul, You do but feel her plight, ‘Oh restless spirit find thy peace, And move towards the light‘. |

I am absolutely loving your poetry, its style, and the stories. I look forward to more of your work. Happy New Year Spirit. May a handshake, smile, kiss or a hug be the best present you give or receive this year. |
