Chasing Shadows

there is
a ghost
that lives
inside of me
the shadow
of someone
I wish
I could be
sometimes catch
a glimpse
of her
in the corner
of my eye
there
then gone
as quietly
as a sigh
where does
she hide
where is it
that she
does play
stepping forward
to surround
my silhouette
then gone
won’t stay
find her
at times
of looking forward
the times
of looking back
maybe I’ll
keep her
in the time
to put away
the things
I lack

She's right there inside you.  She's gone nowhere and is goind nowhere.  She's just waiting for you to remember who she is

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

May love and light always shine upon you!

This was nice lady, we all have ghosts or shadows. perhaps they are braver than we and we should stop and make friends with them. floria
