ghost
can i face you, ghost
and know everything
that what isn’t said
could be
but is masked instead in a mist…
its chosen way
lose yourself
in me
when you feel you see me
but don’t
a side of me, you follow
gone like mist, maybe sleeping
eyes lost
given
proudly to you
and for you

this poem inspired uncleblack to compose a song ‘ghost’ using these lyrics… posted on bandcamp (the katie winter).

Beautiful, Robin. So much open space in you that comes through, creating open spaces in your words for Presence to steam through.
Thank you.

“when you feel you see me
but don’t”, poetically written with delicate lyrical words
Tremendous image
Thanks for sharing and look forward to more of your written words.

a misty ocean ghost, not to be feared.. why do most ghost images that people make have to be scary-looking?
