Gary Fields Poet Personification

Being a Ghost

There is something
Sad about ghost
Who have not yet
Found their way
     ------
Tomorrow is our future
          For them
Just another day
          -----
They bring that prospect
Closely to mind
I pity the ghost
A projection from life
That live's threw time
           -----
I pity the ghost
For the role they played
And yet and still
I am not afraid
             -----
I pity the ghost
Who have no space
For the tragedy that
They've had to face
They should be revered
And respected
And not to be the subjected
To some kind of ghost chase
Fore they were once people
Who have lost their place
           -----
They are the true figment
Of the people who have died
And for whom so many have cried
Most of them were subjects
Their salvation denied
Fore some-how they
Were left so un-alive
             -----
Left to survive in spirit only
Maybe that is why
Some of them seem so lonely
There is a reason why
They shouldn't be treated that way
Fore what they need
Is for some-one just to pray
           -----
They have so many questions'
And emotions that which they
So prominently display
Only if they could some-how
Reconcile their spirit's that way
Then may-be somehow maybe
They will just go away
           -----
To say the least
They will be not reason
For them to go astray

              GF

Elizabeth Wesley August 11, 2011 at 12:33 PM Oh Gary, An emotional verse on the ghostly presence. I too wrote one last week. I love this as the mystery is there to make it fascinating.
