HAUNTINGS--updated

Hauntings

 

Pedigree

Mysterious trinity

Father Mother

Child

And on to me

I live each generation

Vicariously

Familiar hauntings

This

Births

Marriages

Deaths

Immortality in official documents

A faceless list

But for those few

Who

Have passed through

This time and space

 

Looking for reasons

For my end

Searching for the souls

Of my beginnings

Hoping to see

Life

Everlasting

In

A Family Tree

 

Will I go as they

Into that night

Peacefully

Will I follow another’s light

Seed of my creation

Or

Will I need to seek alone

What they all now know

Familiar hauntings

They

Collective progeny I

What a special analogy Joe

Ann of Norway "Mysterious trinity Father Mother Child And on to me I live each generation Vicariously" What a special analogy Joe, so perfectly expressed, a question to the elements, or to those that know, who are no longer with us. How we ponder these thoughts especially under stress, I hope you find out in the least discomforting manner. Annuccia.
