trying to make sense of dust
searching for themselves in haunted rooms
where the works have fallen to rust

where dimmest light may not sweep
not to pierce the oldest curtain
bound by the ropes of time
where the coming future swells uncertain

pray for rain to show
to drum out a hollow melody
to quench the thirst of day
to pour to all a memory

i do believe in ghosts
exhausted in wander and in effort
who never grasp a single answer
who never stumble upon a comfort

see them then to a different place
push them away and far
press them past that silent moon
so that they may seek their star... [comments] => 4 [counter] => 257 [topic] => 25 [informant] => hray42 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )

How gentle and kind is your writing. Wishing them well (but hurry just the same!) PUSH THEM AWAY AND FAR PRESS THEM PAST THAT SILENT MOON...A very pleasant read that brings comfort on the subject so maligned by movies, books and television.
I/'/d say you/'/ve probably made some friends in low places...just in case...it couldn/'/t hurt!

I read this
And I never thought of
conspiracy, As though
even though there seemed to
be a plan in which we were
destined to follow,
Somehow there were ghosts
who tried to say state no, no no no
you are real, you are not indifferent
to this life

but your poem says it so very well
Yes I do, Yes we do
Say all the ghosts invisible
as they are
Great poem!!! like a star

Peace!

I never used to believe in ghosts till a few years ago when I encountered something "not of this world" shall we say.
I think you are right though, it/'/s as though they are souls just looking to make sense of situations that have changed and yet they are somehow unable to move on.

Interesting write
