In a world where I do not exist

In a world where I do not exist, 
Silent specters softly glide, 
Whispers wilt in twilight’s twist, 
Echoes ebb, and shadows hide. 

Time’s thread frays, a fading seam, 
Dreams are dust, dispersed in wind, 
Life’s lantern dims, a distant beam, 
Lost in night where stars rescind. 

Footprints fade in phantom sand, 
Words are wisps in woven mist, 
In this realm, no guiding hand, 
Just a ghost the dawn dismissed.

Very cool. I have no clue how to approach this. Plus I was on a vacay and I am so behind on both comments as well as poetry!

Ghostly figures glide through your poem - the Ghost of no past, present or future. Well done, Jay!
