my tarnished ghost
My soul dwells unmoored over the sea
For it is a barque where the current subsides;
From the shallows of the saltings,
It endeavours to reach the flowing fleets.

The Sun carves the monochrome shadow of my periphery,
But fails to dawn upon the shades of gray within me
For I fear the comfort of my tarnished ghost
Will remain unbeknownst to revelling souls.
