Spirit's Song Poem by Melissa L. Pelletier

Misty morning daylight dawns
ocean sings a ghostly song
lonely spirit sits and waits
waves are gently lapping
at the edge of heaven's gait

Shadows cross a weary pond
mother feeds her newborn fawn
a smile so real, a laugh so whole
a mask to hide a broken soul

Children playing in the snow
jumping from the rooftops
moonlight casts an eerie glow
was it your destiny to never grow old
I wonder, will it always be so cold

Spread your wings and fly
you never said goodbye
in our hearts we set you free
the way we knew you had to be.
