Ghosts, This World's Invisible Hosts

Life, it is said, does evolve after our demise Life can beget Heaven as its prize Or Hell as its torment Or even a fall back to Earth, to its own detriment Life is full of surprises See when one does think that darkness would win One does see that the sun over a new day does rise Only to make sure one does end up being more wise Pray, life does be mystery, It is made up of more than one accessory Like ghosts Ghosts, this world's invisible hosts! Why, I do battle with ghosts everyday Ghosts from my past Ghosts who, to me, they do say Pray, to us and to our memories you should cling on fast For with us, someday, you shall be back With us, yes, in the celestial realms and then, only then We shall give you your heart back For we do have it kept closed in our safe Why, ghosts of such kind scare me not Ghosts of such kind do be with the one who does guide us in our fate Ghosts who are not really ghosts But beings of light, muses of poetry, muses of delight Why, I do come from a land which I have forgotten not A land ruled by the One Great Being My heart does beat only for Him My heart does bear this life, only for Him While this world does be temporary and transient The other one does provide youth and life in permanent So I shall not bother about life here Rather, I shall make sure that to my ghosts, or my muses, I do adhere Muses of love, muses of words, muses bringing sooth to the soul Muses who do give me some joy in this world Muses who scare me not Muses who do make of me a poet Among them does be the one I yearn for My lover, my ruler, the One the whole world does adore Yes, ghosts do call out to me from afar Pray, forget not that you do belong not in this realm, they do say Why, ghosts shall haunt me as long as I do live For I have not an ounce of faith for this world Of course, only to my duty shall I cater Yes, of course, only as long as I shall be here! Life does evolve after our demise Pray, for the dead shed not any tears Rather, remember that you shall be with them For a new journey, or to catch up on some long lost wasted time!
