A Ghost of a Man

Curled up and acting cowardice neck pulled back in for none to see hardened by an ancient windstorm this shell hath show no part of me Borrowed bands of past assumption where heads dig out of soiled sand hidden deep in depths of perception flightlessness grabs hold your hand Sun drips low a hint of wonder creep into this foreign land windows look despite the darkness in stillness lies a ghostly man

In stillness lies a ghostly man... That is a great last line in a beautiful poem. The man sleeps, the windows watch over him.

Very well written, Tim. I think I'm going to do a Frost and take the road less traveled:) Hope you are having a great weekend my friend. Have you got your kids this weekend?

A cowardly ghost, well that's not frightening at all. I don't mean to make light of your serious write. It was just what sprung to mind. It's an excellent visual and quite effective.
