Spirits In the Distance
Life can play tricks on you
Those you have lost
can suddenly appear
You think that have returned
But blink your eyes
and they are gone
Spirits in the distance
bring hope for
a moment
Even as we speak
I see someone at the edge
of the woods
My heart races
I cry "Look"
You turn around
But wait - the spectral image is gone
Now there is only an autumn wind
blowing leaves around
My loved one has returned
to eternity
