Ghost Poem by JJ Evendon

Do you believe in ghosts or apparitions?
Are they here, or is it just a figment of our imagination?
We've all heard tales of things that go bump in the night
and of stories that give us goose pimples and hair raising frights,
but what if they were real like me and you?
Sharing the same, but different world - could that not be true?
So, what are these seemingly unearthly ethereal forms
that haunt us at night but never after dawn?
Are they just spirits trapped inside a time loop
unable to move on – a so called 'Spook'?
What if a dimensional rip that time has yet to absorb
captured an emotion and placed it in some kind of invisible orb?
And when the alignment of moon and stars are right
the orb bursts open and what is seen is the essence of the plight?
An old house can hide many secrets and more
like a wayward spirit with a grudge to score
there's nothing better for raising a ghost's spirit
than to scare the living daylights of the occupants in it!
However, I'm glad to say, not every ghost behaves this way.
If you feel your house is comfortable and warm
spare a quiet thought for the ghost sitting out on your lawn.
For it's out there giving the chains a good shake,
and preparing to visit you when you're not awake.
