Spirit Level
Some things in life are a mystery
That can’t be fully explained
Ghosts and Ghouls are just two of them
Because ‘everything’ has to be named
Have you ever tried to reason!
Why it’s only scary at night?
When the cloak of darkness has descended
And imaginations, easily take flight
It’s the fear of the unknown that haunts us
In life: what’s real, is key
Believing in ghostly apparitions
Is frightening to those who don’t see
So, what about our spirit?
Does it leave us when we die?
Is it something that lasts forever?
Maybe this is what’s catching our eye
So the next time your fears are awoken
By shadows and sounds in the night
Remember! It’s not only you being startled
A spirit could be catching a fright!!
