Ghosts

What does it require to wake up and face life again
After damages and abuses keep my soul all stained

Swirling around me is a tornado hauntingly distressing
A tornado in which ghosts thrive, to keep my misery abounding

It is almost as if I am forbidden
To enjoy the apples of Earth's temporary garden!

Poetry, thankfully, healing, soothing and rejuvenating, keeps me going
Hopeful and expecting for more inspirational heightening

Pray, I guess life in this mortal plane is simply as it is
Meant never to complete us, meant to keep us in unease

Have I learnt and accepted that here, one never begets all that one wills
Yes, pray, a motto I have made mine own, so that my ghosts do meet with kills!
