It’s haunting form beckoned for a closer look. Starting early on this fine autumn morning I searched the eastern cliffs for a closer view. ##### 󠀁[󠀁[ ##### Peering over the edge, just beyond the brush the tree’s cleared for a view of the Phantom Ship. Silently floating upon the calm waters she rests. ##### It was all that I hoped for on this bright, blue sky morning. ##### 󠀁[󠀁[ ##### After sitting for a spell in the sun, I head back down the trail. I find an old tree uprooted by the wind. I can feel the sad death in it’s branches, and the feeling pulls me in. I go closer to touch the dead roots of the ancient wooden being. ##### 󠀁[󠀁[ ##### I pay my respects in silence, then quietly slip away. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-phantom-ship/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20The%20Phantom%20Ship&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fthe-phantom-ship%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-phantom-ship/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-phantom-ship/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-phantom-ship/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-phantom-ship/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
