[bodytext] => Once more I/'/m wandering down to the river/'/s edge Eyes applaud the surroundings yet my heart wants more I find a welcoming spot to wrap up within my cocoon Anxious as they sky/'/s changing and night will arrive soon Breezes caress as the hanging moss teases the ground Earth/'/s melodies blend with the evening/'/s magical sound Wrapped in my safety zone, no longer hearing the harmony Knowing the river will soon present the show I came to see River/'/s currents swell with each beat of the night/'/s heart The cooling air brings white smoke creating their start As daylight wans, the dark hides their slow gentle rise Ghosts in the river crying out for me to open my eyes Ghosts of mistakes I refuse to acknowledge or accept Constructed from the salt of thousands of tears I/'/ve wept Ghosts of smiles and laughter dancing and singing my songs Remembering loving promises in preference to my wrongs Specters from the past parade among the glowing mist Chanting their stories in a unison that/'/s hard to resist My eyes watch these apparitions twirl in the rising waves Begging listen, listen before they return to their graves Their dance is done when the stories have been told Time beckons them depart as black night turns to gold Yet knowing I/'/ll return as life/'/s seasons is sure to deliver Memories that will conjure up more ghosts in my river [comments] => 3 [counter] => 166 [topic] => 48 [informant] => dvtpdw [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
