Night Visions

Ghosts
Enter
Quietly
Loneliness adds
Form to night visions
Curtains ruffled by wind
Take shapes of apparitions
Moonbeams casting eerie shadows
Oak branches shivering in the breeze
Turn away, lie on your chest, expel ghosts

So easy to visualise, especially as most, if not all of us have experienced these feelings. Well written and thought out.
