They Were Like Smoke
The ghosts were analog,
everything is digital.
Now It really is just the wind or
the old house settling.
Dead really is dead in
this new, old world.
everything is digital.
Now It really is just the wind or
the old house settling.
Dead really is dead in
this new, old world.

Dear N,
The ghosts were analog. They didn’t make the digital cut? What’s this world come to?
On the flip side of this insightful poem, I love the colors and subjects of your photo. Great write! H🌷

I haven't seen or felt a ghost in years.
Thought it strange. Perhaps we grow out of fearing things we cant see because real life can be so treacherous? Who knows 😄
Thank you H

Loss of childhood fears ... Excellent write ... Saw your comment , often one just has to stretch out with ones soul to confer with 'ghosts' ... Peace and quiet helps and Wi-Fi unnecessary lol ... Bless and love ... ..
