A Ghost's Perspective

Cathy A Montville
A Ghost's Perspective

You perceive me not, though I touch your face
No longer whole, I am empty space
The night lends chance for you to see
The specter that you know is me

I ride the energy of a lightening storm
To reach your world, to keep you warm
You turn away from my cold stroke
No longer mortal, my body broke

The supernatural noise you hear
Is my only way to show I'm near
Normal though it is for me
You look right past...you refuse to see

I walk your world now as a spirit
I am still of it, but not quite near it
Perpetual, though, I will stay
Just not among your human fray

    I am growing more and more convinced there is indeed another plane of existence we just cannot see most times, but I have seen way too much on all the ghost hunter shows to be anything less then real. I mean either ALL the ghost hunter shows are fake or there are things we do not yet grasp. Either way this is fascinating. Nice job Cathy.
