Ghost

I'm just a simple ghost who very much enjoys a good Thought.

[several-ghostly-thoughts]

Someday, my bones will descend into the earth,

But I will not die.

I'll live in the plants I grew,

In the people I talked to,

In the oceans I swam in,

In the trails I walked,

In every sunset I ever saw.

I will not die because I will always be here.

Sometimes, I swear, I hear it,

The call of a soft piano,

The lull of the ocean,

The smell of a wet forest.

But then I wake up,

Wondering if I ever witnessed anything at all

[several-ghostly-thoughts]

Sometimes, I just

think.

I think about everything.

But also of nothing.

I've had so many ideas.

But they never move.

They lay, permanently still

until they eventually disintegrate.

I think that I think too much.

Fear and Feeling-

And what do u do with a heart that just feels.

What even is a heart if not for feeling,

Love and pain

Sadness and joy.

What do u do with a heart that just feels

Both numb and tingling.

All these emotions with no one to dump it with

Alone in the room outside it rains

Inside theres tears.

Fear, all it does is feel.

A branch trimmed too soon

will never bear fruit.

But if you have just one bad apple

the rest may follow suit.

This dilemma is not at all new

but I can't help but wonder the truth.

Should a branch be judged

on nothing but its fruit?

But people love to eat,

And so the point is moot.

i once knew a man

who knew nothing

everyday i reminded him

how to tie a tie

he'd always smile

and laugh with a wink and nod

-

the man who knew nothing

was my only friend

and i was his

every day

i reminded him

of different opinions

of only the right things to say

-

one day he told me

with a simple sigh

that all people's hearts ebb and flow

you should not keep them

locked away, to be

unseen and hidden from all

-

the man who knew nothing

knew only one thing

and that was

how to

Smile.
