ECHOS

A ghost am I
Standing alone
Watching life go by
Fearing each shadow

No one sees me
My disguise in place
The wind blows through me
As if I wasn’t there

I come and go without a trace
Leaving nothing in my wake
For to do so
Would be my mistake

My senses keen
Each leaf is watched
Every movement seen
As the ticking of a clock

I dare not look up
Nor do I look down
My ears will trick me
With each quiet sound

Memories surround me
Things that must not be forgot
Reliving in my mind
Feelings I wish I had not

Begin anew they say
Forgive the past
Let life play
As if it were your last
