The Ghost Of Me

Postby Cindy » Thu Jan 15, 2015 7:53 pm

I've walked that woodland path before
When once, my mortal frame I wore
I know the individual tree
The moss
The fern
The filigree
Of filtered sunlight through the veil
I know
I lived
I walked the trail

Once it was with mortal frame
And at that time, you never came
Just flora, fauna
And the sun
I came alone
The only one

That was then, but still I go
Along that path
The one I know
And there you are
At times, I've seen
I watch you walk along and dream

You come alone and never see
The mortal frame that once was me
But there I am as you pass by
In morning mist or evening sigh
And even once with drop of dew
Just one drop
And just for you
I placed it on your cheek, a kiss
Alas, you thought it just the mist

So more alone than I was then
Dwelling on what could have been
My restless spirit walks by night
In hopes you'll see my lonely light.

What a lovely rendition of a spiritual walk - mystifying, sad and nostalgic. A touching write, very well rhymed, I just love this amble that hints at .... if only we would pay a little more attention .... a deeper meaning to life. Thank you for sharing.

It is a pleasure to read this mystical and thought provoking write and I was glued from the first word to the last. The imagery in the "drop of dew" is so achingly beautiful thank you Cindy.

As Karin has said this poem is "Achingly beautiful" Cindy.

In spirit he cannot see you, and i feel that longing and sadness that you portray , I feel overwhelmed with grief reading this exceptional write..
