A Lonesome Spirit

A lonesome spirit,
watches the world go by,
as thousands of moonbows and sunsets die.

Deep in woods,
perched atop the sky,
it sings a dirge,
willing to submerge.

Shrouded in fog,
lost in darkness,
a lonesome spirit watches the world go by,
as thousands of moonbows and sunsets die.

Sad to be so lonely, but why wait for the world to go by? Why not join in and maybe not be so lonely?

Beautiful. I think at one point, we have been lonesome spirits observing the world around us. Until somehow we wake up and move.
