Ghosts are haunting me
Are they real or imaged
What does it matter
Things long dead keep appearing
Wanting to rejoin this life
This can’t be allowed
The past must be left buried
Buried forever
Like the fate of all dead things
To rest in peace–eternal

Very good!
Thank you my friend. 🙂
It’s a delicate balance when dealing with the past. One should remember the ghosts without giving them power over present and future.
You are so right, unfortunately many people get stuck in the past and can’t seem to shake free of it. That certainly can make for a life of misery…not a great way to live. Thanks Charles.
I know a lot of people like that. I fall into the trap too at times.
Are you having nightmare, Don?

No, but thank you for asking. This is more a metaphor for letting things from one’s past go and instead moving on into a hopefully brighter future.
I see
Oh I see
I think sometimes we have to allow the ghosts have to come back so we can do the work needed to finally be able to lay them to rest!
You are so right, sometimes it’s not enough to escape them so then we must stand up and face them.
