Last years’ ghosts

 

​

​

I feel so haunted now by last years’ ghosts – 

My precious peace is gone, just when I needed it the most.

I look around and everywhere I see

there are shadows of what used to be parts of me.

 

So I will meet my ghosts and say hello;

perhaps I’ll chat a bit with them, before  I let them go.

they cannot hurt me, not essentially;

they are just shadows of what used to be parts of me.

 

Last years’ ghosts

still haunting me today,

but I know that they’re just shadows

of troubles that are far away,

 

and after all

a ghost is just a ghost –

it surely exists,

but it is just a ghost.

 

And so I walk on this November day

between the houses and the trees and everything that’s grey.

I look around and everywhere I see

there are shadows of what used  to be parts of me.
