Driving by an old abandoned hospital
last night alone...what was I seeing?
...consideration of an apparition...
a soul left in the aftermath with
wreckage in such disarray

It was giving me the heebie jeebies...
yet stilled, by a trance

Could I possibly give chase? maybe so,
if not with fright roaming in the crumbling
and decaying, or let her go forever pinning
with other lives lost amidst the now rubble 

When suddenly a vision presented my life
beginning and ending before intended...
perhaps a warning, one might say, 
for serious commitment to seek an earnest
fulfillment for My life's dreams

Willing to move on filled with completeness
when my time comes, not to linger on in a
ghostly form... just wishing I had pursued all
avenues in vehicles bound for parkways
of happiness

Apparition or Angel, What say You?
