Morning Prayer

[ambermaitrejean]

I saw the ghost on the Marne today staring back at me misty white and spectral gray as pale as a phantom would be

For years the ghost has haunted the river as long as I’ve been here its presence has never caused me to shiver or given a reason to fear

Staring down from the deck of the boat I peer in the waters below its wavering form there floats among the leaves of the weeping willow

I wonder if others have seen the ghost for it’s there every time I look perhaps it is I who has seen it the most for this ghost most others overlook

The time has come to bid farewell to the ghost on the river Marne to haunt no longer the place where it dwells whose absence no one will mourn

For this life in France I’ve no regret but home is calling me where “ghost” is no longer my epithet for the ghost on the Marne was me
