I Am But A Ghost (Tanka)

You reach out for me

My vessel–something to hold

But it’s illusion

You cannot touch who I am

For it is not this body

    Love this…so very true. We are what we are inside. Marvelously expressed :)

      Thank you Morgan. I find that we take outward appearance as a definition of who a person is when it is merely a shell used to contain the real “you”. :)

    Dom, Thank you for re-blogging my Cover art post. I didn’t get any takers as yet but a lot of people saw it because of you. Smiles…>KB

      I’m glad, I hope that you do get some takers. I for one, if I had a book to publish, would be honored to have you create the cover art for it. I really do enjoy your work and find you to be a true talent.
