Humble Earthly Abode

Ghostly apparition in light night sky The moon becomes a fierce dragon's big eye Dragon flows outward fills southern sky high Great awesome fierceness goes before it _sigh Happenings as such are very eerie Feeling my father's presence at his death (Something that cannot be explained_ really) Had this calming effect in just one breath Carried him to hospital ill that morning Never knew that today would be the day Death would carry him away _no warning Died in surgery_ spirit would not stay As he left his humble earthly abode His Eternal Spirit touched my soul (When my father died, I had not been told that he was dead but suddenly I knew just an internal thing..I felt him brush against me as he went by..)

Dear Sara, congratulations on taking fifth place in the Ghosts contest with this moving entry. Could really feel the emotion in this write. Jack and I judged blindly and there were many good entries that did not place, so those who did should feel very proud. Love, Carolyn
