standing on a shadow's lace

Possessed

there is
a haunting
by one
I do not see
no presence
of a body
but as real
as he can be
slides all
around me
this shadow
this ghost
as magnets
cling together
I am
the perfect host

I like this.
Inspires, this does.
Go look......

I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement.

(sigh) Wow, this is soooooo powerfully haunting, sweet friend, I just love the atmosphere your words always portray, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

This is a lovely poem, Helen....
sometimes, I have those feelings also...
I think most of us do but you expressed it so beautifully.
