GHOSTS:


Am I the only one, who can really, truly see them?

Those folk, who quietly appear before me & then,

Disappearing softly, just as soon as they had come,

Leaving upon cold mists & a soft whispered hum.

 

Those ghosts, spectres, spirits & dark scary spooks,

Told as myths, around firesides & tales in old books,

Gently touching my cheek, with fleeting night fingers,

Blowing kisses in my ear, with breath that softly lingers.

 

Tell me, am I the only one, or can you see them too?

All those loved ones, belonging still, to me & to you,

The ghosts of those dead people, now so long gone,

Disappearing in our dreams, prayers & forgotten songs.
