Augury

 
I could see the pain in her eyes
For the things that she used to tell
And for the many that she kept to herself
People her time were built different
Like strongholds of resilience and secrets

Every now and then
I’d get a glimpse of the world she came from
She knew that old ghosts sometimes come back
Not to haunt
But try to stir you away from the current path

And yet, she always remained stoic
Death and spirits tend to have that effect on some people

For her
It was a way of life
Because even though now she has found her peace
And the inevitable lurks somewhere near
She accepts it
      and understands it
