Memories Dancing like Ghosts

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.

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
