The Pathway In the Moonlight

The pathway in the moonlight Shine's like a bright guiding light And when we are tucked in our beds The ones who came before return instead And once again they walk the street Familiar to them before their lives were complete And now when they meet they look and wonder Why the world they knew had been cast asunder Although their time on this world we know is ended They stay here with their life tasks not extended Once and a while they are seen as they walk through As lost lonely souls who don't want to leave here too. © Paul Warren Poetry
