I Saw a Ghost

I just saw a ghost,
Am I looking into the past?
Or is he looking in the future?
How long will this connection last?

I see right thru him,
And he me,
He doesn’t look afraid,
My fear he sees.

Perhaps he travels time,
And left his world behind,
And entered mine,
Searching hoping to find,

Answers to his life’s mysteries,
In this old abandoned home,
Drifting across the floor,
Not wanting to be alone.
