Galactic Ghost Poem by Harley White

Galactic Ghost

Rating: ★5.0

In ghostly guise a phantom face
appears to loom in outer space
with pair galactic painting scene
in cast of pareidolic mien
to eerie spectral visage trace.

Our earthly sight may sense displace
and lead us on a merry chase
to thus celestial vision glean
in ghostly guise.

Within empyreal embrace
the stars abiding interlace
upon the ebon cosmic screen
as show the twinkles in their sheen,
some bygone from a state of grace
in ghostly guise.
