Ghost hands, reaching out to me

But I cannot feel their touch

Ghost arms, that I can almost feel myself embrace

Ghost eyes, in my Mind’s Eye, looking at me

***

Where have you gone? You the one I’ve lost

I see things you’ve left: clothing, ornaments

Photographs with your image, a gravestone with your name carved in

The only evidence that you ever even were

***

I still am not convinced ~

How can I be sure? That you were not only a dream

As I look at you in my Mind’s Eye

Looking into those ghost eyes that seem to grow more and more distant and dream-like

***

All day long I see you, talk to you

Though you do not say a word to me

I cannot even be sure what I’m looking at anymore is you

Maybe it’s just me, and these memories of you are only dreams of a dream

***

But I know that this feeling I feel ~

Of the deepest DESIRE, of YEARNING

Of SORROW and EMPTINESS unfathomed (even these words cannot remotely describe)

This feeling I now feel, was conjured by you leaving me

***

Wherever you went, whoever you belong to now, whoever’s arms you are in

This feeling you’ve left me with, is the most pure and true of feelings

It is how Life truly is ~ each day flashing by like a blue window

A ghost realm, a phantom world…

These buildings, mountains, skylines and horizons only mirages in a vast desert

***

Blink, and winter has become summer

The moment you think of a moment, it has already passed by

These words you’re reading now ~ the moment a word is read it has already passed by

***

Perhaps we are all Alone, with only God

Perhaps earth is a great wide planet-sized empty room

And each eye you gaze into, each black mirror ~ is only a glimpse into another world

Each human on their own parallel earth

***

Only your dream, you and God…

In a world of emptiness, with God being the True Joy

***

When the moment of “death” strikes like lightning, perhaps we only Awaken

From a dream where we were all Alone

***

Til then I yearn for you, my Ghost

With your invisible eyes, and hands, and air embrace

Seeing my own Aloneness in every single human eye

Reflections of some distant world, in every human face

***

Shalom
