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.
