Manic Monday: Ghost

walking
running
sometimes stumbling
wandering
absent
repeating motion
shrouded in mist
blinded by obligation
drowned in darkness
a ghost of the person he once was


leading
learning
always growing
finding
serving
anxiously discovering
lifted by joy
carried in contentment
embraced in love
more than he ever imagined he could be

Happy MM! Excellent poem ... with a nice ending.

I invite your blog readers to see reaction of American Ghosts to our upcoming election for POTUS!

I like the way the second stanza mirrors the first... and a happy ending, too. :)
