Phantoms Coming Back

Human Beings can endure much,
because their resilience makes them
strong and tough,
Yet, when the spirit gets broken 
and downtrodden,
it conjures up spirits from Heaven,
Spirits they cling to in order to get
through rough times,
giving them a reason or rhyme,
why life takes an unfavorable turn,
Perhaps, its their imaginations that yearn 
to be understood,
A voice of conscience that encourages
them to do good,
Once a person has misplaced his/her
faculties,
It becomes easy to succumb to frailties,
Loving spirits can guide the way,
working out issues they could have
done better in living days,
Phantoms always come back and play
super heroes in our lives,
Especially when all we have worked for
takes an uncalculated dive.........
