A Ghost Only Seeks To Be Content

 

 A sample of the

 after life

 

after the panic

is overcome by a cogent

swoosh….

 

fade to scenario…

there before you

for a moment…

 

you are out

not even an apparition

settle into being out

of you

 

we have all been

beyond ourselves  at

one time or another

focus…

 

this time there will be

fewer options to consider

what am I going…

back to?

 

or to go into

the space time continuum

para-kaleidoscopic

called by….

 

a still voice

it was below a whisper

at the same time above

a thought…

 

then you may return

if you wish to that is

for a chance to speak openly

about  an  experience….

just like a vapor

aside from a minor spelling issue at the end (experience) this was damn transcendent, intellectual, and fun in a sophisticated Euro trash kinda way. You ARE a ghost, David. Stay one. Mark W.

I need to ask a serious

I need to ask a serious question, why are you so much more lucid in your poetry than your replies? Love this poem, scary and potent, allegory or spirit? cheers, Jess
