Ghost

I see a faint glow shining
Coming from the road just beyond
Night after night it comes
Warm and familiar to me
No fear in my body
I await it anxiously
This soft glowing orb
Floating on the streams of air
That pour through my bedroom window
It drifts close to me and
Down along my skin
It touches me lightly
As though it is kissing my flesh
At my eyes it pauses and
Stares in
Searching for something deep inside
As though it is trying to decide
If I am worthy of its attentions
It waits and drifts away
Back out through the window
Its infentisimal voice ringing in my ears
Disappointment filling my heart
Sometimes I think it's scared
When it quivers
As I try to touch it
