Ghost Story

I see ghosts!

Can you see them too?

Do you notice the green light 

or does it look more like blue?

Didn’t you feel the wind 

that blew in through the shutters?

Did you feel like something was there in the 

middle of the night and hid under the covers?

do not fear them, they’re the 

same as your own shadow

they'll follow you unconsciously 

even when you don’t want them to

it takes a brave heart 

to accept these spirits

to see them as your wise elders 

who display a virtuous merit

you walk alone in the graveyard 

now, you’re merely fearless

they keep you company during

the bereft of your happiness 

soon you'll discover that the dead 

always makes a grand appearance

there's no such thing as keeping thoughts 

to yourself, the ghosts listen, and they hear us
