This is something I just wrote off the cuff..was looking through pics in the Galleries, and as soon as I laid eyes on one such piece...these words flooded my soul... A Ghost in the Mist I wander the outlines of your life, Quietly watching over you As you continue on your journey through life. Hovering silently, a shadowy form.. Smiling upon you with pride As you accomplish your hopes and dreams... I linger on the fringes of your soul... Waiting for perhaps that one day When you might turn, and notice the vague outlines Of my love and devotion... And realize that you have never walked alone But rather have been supported by a figment of dream... An idea long since forgotten.... A captive to this world, unable to be free... Content to remain behind and be only a reflection of your new life... I haunt the hallways and rooms of my own heart... Roaming endlessly, ever watchful over you, A soul long since faded away still aching when you hurt... A heart melted into near nothingness smiling At each small joy to make you smile... I am the song you hear in the middle of the night.... The soft touch of breeze upon your cheek as you turn your head... The laughter that you feel suddenly.... That rolls over you as a wave, then ebbs away.... I am ever with you...I cannot leave... A ghost in the mist.... The picture to accompany this poem is Gallery Image number 387918 .... I wish I could remember the artist so that I could thank him/her for the inspiration....

The picture in question was entitled "Haunted" by VampireWriter. To VampireWriter, I say thank you for posting something that gave me inspiration to write...I love this piece !
