the ghosts have returned the ghosts who were once friends relatives childhood sweethearts they have returned to to find that which they have lost. . . their lives. . . their souls and in their returning, I feel their spirits running through my veins shimmering in the light that is the dusk pulsing in my mind they stand before me and ask "why have you sent us away?" but I tell them that I have not sent them away they themselves chose to leave. . . I always had a home for them I would always take care of them no, they chose to leave, they ran away, thinking that they could do better on their own they have returned they stand before me and say "you have hurt us. . . " I tell them that perhaps I did. . . but that it was not my intention to do so they don't really care, all they know is that they were hurt, and they have come again to find that which was taken from them they have returned they stand before me and say "you will pay. . ." and part of me fears them and part of me does not for though I would have feared them before I do not now. . . I welcome them I join them I love them they are the seekers, I am that which they have sought the circle now complete, the ends now joined, the Gordian knot tied. . . they have returned they take me. . . and my soul screams. . . and my body is no longer my own I am at their mercy. . . or are they at mine? for in taking me, I have taken what is them what was them what will be them and now together, we walk. . . we sing. . . we seek. . . we look for what is lost, we look for what we find, we seek for what is lost, we seek for what we love. . . they have returned. . . and I welcome them welcome dear spirits, welcome dear friends. . . welcome welcome welcome welcome home. . . they have returned ---------------------------------------------------------------- < !signature--> That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 10-07-2000).] |

Sven, that was intense. I liked the way you presented the idea of spirits coming back. Good work. Elizabeth Something sweet, something sort of grandish, sweeps my soul when thou art near... hedeservesbetter@hotmail.com |

Wow Sven pretty freaky. Man I just hope none of mine come back. I don't think I'd be nearly a gracious as you, lol. Well done my friend. Juls |

What a wonderfully haunting feel to this Sven! As children so often come back to the nest ... so do the spirits and memories of loves and times past ... very nicely written!  |

I can't help what popped into my mind as I read this..."I see dead people." LOL Was an eerie one Sven, as for me I think I'd be running and screaming. Great work! <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. |
