Spending my days
Writing to ghosts
Of my past
Asking them to 
Reveal themselves
Materialise before eyes
But they refuse
Thump, thud, voices
In the night 
All contrived
By my mind and heart
Convinced I don't live
In this world alone
Colonies of tall trees 
To sea grasses swaying
On movement of ocean breeze
Salt spray dries
Salty tears 
Unfathomable depths
Overcome latent fears
Echoes of waves
Lap at my back, soothingly
Whisper to mine ears
You are never alone
In the natural world
