Faces of Ghosts

I’m sitting here
Watching faces of ghosts
Apparitions of times gone

I watch them
Wispy and faded these faces
They swirl around me, whispering

They call to me
An ethereal voice
They remind me

Everywhere they are
Faces of ghosts, voices of ghosts
Memories of times never again to be

I’m chasing them
These wandering ghosts
Every day I chase them

Running
My hands grasp out
But they slip through

I cry
For what now is out of my reach
For that which is dead

Faces of ghosts
They never go away
And neither does the pain
