Ghostly Whispers

She sat there in the still of the night
looking out at the horizon
listening to the crashing waves


Nestled by a blazing fire
just watching the distant wall of fog
slowly drifting closer and closer

As she slowly sipped champagne
she gazed at the empty glass beside her

She could feel the spirits
of sunken ships and their crews
swirling all around her in the cool evening mist
as they searched for past loved ones

Ghostly whispers echoing out the names
of all the broken hearts left behind
the oceans air filled with misty droplets of lonely tears

From the horizon the great wall of fog
slowly claimed the seashore for its own
as though a blanket of soothing comfort
for all the lost souls at sea

As land, fog and sea became one
she surrendered to her beliefs
and for a moment time stood still

Running to the shores in the dark misty night
Legs numb as she stood in the chilling sea
Foamy waves rushing up to greet and caress her feet

She closed her eyes and called his name
Her warm tears blending with the sea

The fog gently swirled around her
and continued to thicken

She stretched out her arms
while whispering his name

Then she felt him
his sweet gentle touch
lips meeting and tasting
souls embracing

The delights of true Love
after a life time of waiting

She clung to him tightly
as he carried her off
to join the fog and the sea
for all eternity
