Seeing is Believing

Souls and spirits come our way
but very few will let them stay,
for most could never bear the shame
of being clasified insane.

So even those who know it's true
that dead folk can be living too,
convince themselves that they are wrong
so they can sing 'accepted' song.

Every faith of every creed
is grown from just a single seed,
the one that says that life goes on
when all our earthly time has gone.

And most proclaim beyond the grave
the souls of their disciples gave,
proof positive that they survive
and beyond death they're still alive.

But say that you have seen dead folk
and most will think that you're a joke,
imagination running wild
they'll treat you like a stupid child.

The parson and the parish priest
will tell you, you can't see deceased
and some will go as far to say
it's devils work, you must not play!

But simple folk like you and me
all have ability to see
the ones who walked this way before
the ones who most folk just ignore.

The joy of meeting closest friends
the joy of love that never ends
the joy of knowing in your heart
that friend survive when they depart.

Surly this is worth the pain
of hearing some say you're insane.
Open your eyes, your ears and mind
and then believe the things you find.

The moment created this second, is a moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

Linda,

You always seem to be on Pip when I catch a few minutes late at night (just past midnight now).

You may have noticed that when pushed for time I ramble straight to the site (as this one) and my last few posts have been in this way.

I was just considering whether to copy and save this to my archive when you responded!

Sometimes I feel guilty about direct posts as they are a bit raw, but your comments help to convince me i should occasionally do this.

Thanks again,

ivor

Well, you brainstorm quite well, given the late hour in England.

When you 'right' straight from the hip, so to speak, it comes out powerfully and authentic.
