Poem -
Memories Dancing like Ghosts
My soul is wrapped in light
beneath the wrapping, yet,
a shadow is always in sight…
from the first glow to the last light
the images of the past dance like ghosts
passing through my eyes
like a candle burning bright.
Oh, I do yearn seeing that face again,
my lips have so many words to whisper
and we have so many stories to share.
I must wait, now is not my turn
to dance to the tune,
and, to join the ethereal ball I do not hasten.
But perhaps tonight, in my dreams,
my beloved one will invite me to dance,
not as a ghost, but as a memory,
loved, untouched and eternal…
offering peace to my earthly body
and comfort to my very soul.

P.S. Yes, we live in memory.
It's not rocket science, is it .. and one certainly doesn't need to be a bloomin genius to know write from the off what this is all about ..
Tis without a shadow of doubt a mourning song & writ with a deep longing and yearning .. not at all unrealistic in its expectations .. I trust you slept sweetly upon posting .. Neville
This is my father, my mother and my young sister. They are my memory. And become my poem. Tonight.

I talk to the dead, you dance with the dead, beautiful words B.
This reminds me of casper, the dance scene at the end, a great Halloween movie, very sad scene but powerful x
So, what a team we make!
Oh, you just gave me a movie to watch, I am sure I'll like it. Cheers Nine.
