winds pound through bent trees
roots cling tight to sandy ground
gust bring sounds of ghosts
dead lie the soldiers
battle of fort fisher lost
blood soaked the white shore

In North Carolina, Fort Fisher was a Confederate fort that protected the trading routes at the port at Wilmington. The Union captured it in 1865.
The fort is a beautiful place to photograph with its salt and wind twisted trees. Photo by Joni
Beautiful photo, the trees look so magical
Thank you my dear friend. Hope you are well. I miss you. Love ❤️ Joni
