My Ghost
my ghost has found
it's resting place
its forever wondering
has found its grace
and leaving no longer
has to be
no more running from
violence or infidelity
no need to escape
undue influence
by cruelties
of loud spoken words
free to be me
with thee who chooses me
and rest in ever waiting arms
ever beside me
every dawn
my ghost has
found its resting place
evil creatures of the night
careless beings that share no light
no giving beyond giving just enough
no sacrifice beyond anything tough
their only focus was what
i had to give
never on what i needed to live
they pulled me down far enough
into my own self and once again
i was alone
but alas
in running i found a space
a friendly heart and loving face
at first i saw it
i was in love
my spirit was lifted
heavenward
as we both took
our tiny little steps
each in the same direction
with each height and with each depth
the music began to play again
the harps the violins
the sun made things grow again
the violet and the rose
and the God who seemed
so far far away
started blessing
and seemed to stay
and i knew
my ghost had found
its resting place and home
with you
and you alone
