Apparition

There are souls that walk
Down familiar streets
Observing familiar sights
And denying the warmth of 
The living masses
Whose blindness
And ignorance disgust the memories
Of those who dwell in the 
Beyond and constantly observe
Their faulty passions that lack
Desire and wholeness 
And are perplexed by these
Developments knowing that many
Will be joining them soon.

Sad and so thought provoking. A call to the reader to look at the things that they have and do in life and either straighten up or appreciate what they have. Appariton/Spirit... surrounds us always. Well written with vivid images. Smiles from Lolita
