I stood and fought Invisible ghosts I followed, chased Invisible steps. That led to what ? Nothing but the sound of my breath Panting in the darkened haze. Did my sigh summon the fog, Did my sight summon the wraith Did my will summon the emptiness ? Was it all me ? Did I make masks for others To frighten myself Instead of washing their feet And bless them with a kiss Did I not love enough ? Or love wrong ? Did I mistake a cough for a laugh ? A flattery for a sneer ? An invitation for rejection ? Somebody guide me, I can't see

Ghosts
