I have a Will-'O-The-Wisp by me but always just out of sight I call Mom and try to find her and really see her in the day light When I least expect it out of the corner of my eye a shadow moves Or a change in the air that I feel and my nerves it soothes Why is she so elusive and always just a feeling to me Sometimes a little un-nerving just a glimpse do I see Do you know I think she even has hidden things to make me look Then artfully when I give up back comes what she took She is a comfort at times but a trial at others When going around at night checking the windows or doors, like mothers I love this Wisp this feeling that darts from dark corners I'm looked after and cared for by this feeling in the air A shadow, a movement, a feeling that something is there My very own Will-'O-the-Wisp playful and I'll handle with care |

Very much fun! Maybe that's what my cat sees when she extends herself high on her hind legs, peering into the darkness of the hall on a given night, when it's late and silent. It always unnerves me, maybe I should let it soothe my nerves, instead. |

You should share this with children ME, they'd love it just as much as we do. Neat piece...I could even see this being about a kitty cat! jwesley |

Absolutely enchanting, and I shall read this one to the ladies at Evergreen House if you don't mind (extended care home), and thank you in advance, and my granddaughter is going to love this one too, so into the library you go! "Lose your temper and you lose a friend; lie and you lose yourself." |

Irish Rose, Oh, thank you! VAS, I'll bet it is! I've been called a cat, and a witch, and things I can't share. jwesley, good thought and a fun one Mr, Deer, I thank you. Logan, ever "sense" a light in a dark place? Those Wisp are every where! Glad you enjoyed. Mysteria, you are welcome to share this. Thanks for the honor. vlraynes, I thought I did something to Maria!! What fun response to this ethome, and you, too, are welcome! |

This is indeed enchanting....I don't know exactly what you're trying to say but, I got the feeling that you were talking about a past relative who may have died and their ghost lives with you or something....whatever it is though, it's very nice writing.....peace! Nathan |

I'm glad that someone else, besides me, thinks there are shadows moving in the corners and"something" in the air. This is hauntingly well done. Betty Lou Hebert |

You always should Will-'O-the-Wisp handle with care if you want to hold on to. You just did a beautiful job here. Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |

Titia, thank you Nate, right, but she cheats and doesn't come right out and let me know it is her Trillium, so I'm not alone? Decaflame, a Wisp, an Imp, by another name.....They are all stinkers My Butterfly kid, the cobwebs are there to catch the Wisp! Love you too my kid. Titia, I do the best I can to handle with care. Thanks for the comments my pip friends |
