I Don'T See Ghosts

I don't see ghosts,
I see past, present, future,

I don't see ghosts,
I see hurt, sorrow, torture,

I don't see ghosts,
I see good, bad, delight,

I don't see ghosts,
I see colour, black, white,

I don't see ghosts,
I see kindness, cruelty, affection,

I don't see ghosts,
I see time for reflection,


I desperately miss my loved ones,
I want to see ghosts.

- You do not have "see" ... use your emotions ... but I would not call it "ghosts" ... spiritual world is free for all, Roy - A lovely poem - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Thank you very much Ann-Lise, the words in your comment make more sense than those in my poem, Thanks again, Roy.
