The Ghost in You

There’s a ghost in you,

Softly hiding—

Edging closer to the unknown after.

You reach for a future life,

A future lie worth telling.

And I’m stretching to fit

Into that unknown life,

Make myself a part of its shifting matrix.


And the form of the spirit

—An angel without wings—

Whispers in the shadows you throw

While shifting your body through time,

Suggesting the shape

Of your eventual transformation.


There’s a ghost in you,

Creeping softly—

Edging further from the love you throw,

Dropping from the edge of that life we share.

And I’m stretching to fit

Into that unknown life,

At the bottom of the drop.

I’m an angel without wings,

Wandering too close

To the ghost in you.

YES i think this is beautiful...................Sebby

Thanks much, Jimbo!

sometimes I can't type an intelligent response and can only drool
not bad, dude.

Thank you for summarizing my difficulty in commenting on this one, Manna.

It was all so elusive that my thoughts and words eluded capturing, as well... much like a ghost.
