Whisper

She sits on the damp sand

Sun spills over her

Golden and warm

Wind caresses her hair

Stirring dark tendrils

Waves lap at her toes

Seeking attention

But

Dark eyes stare at cold frothy waves

Lost in the gray-green torment

Wind whispers

She shivers

Broken shells wash around her

Life gone

Empty

Wind calls her

Echoing loneliness

She lifts her head

Recognizing the echo

Slender fingers are raised

Into the wind

Sighs are lost in the whisper wind

As it strokes her and pulls her

Urging

She closes her eyes to the sun and warmth

The wind strengthens

Whipping

Buffeting

Her image fades

A shimmering shadow lost in the wind

A single tear splashes into the waves

And is lost

And the wind echoes over empty sand

Whispering

Lonely
