A Ship Half Empty

Linking with Flash Fiction 55 over at Verse Escape 
where we write a poem or what inspires us in exactly 55 words.
Thank you Joy for a wonderful prompt!
Come join us everyone!


I dream of far places
where gulls glide Atlantic Seas like ships
there I am alone among multitudes
yet the only voices I can hear
are ghosts of yesterday
old and ragged I whisper
 the tireless question
 why no matter where I venture
I remain a child hoping for my mother to hear my cry.
