"Ghosts"

 "Ghosts"

Greg Budig 2020

Wisps of white, 

transparent 

like smoke.

Contorted and 

twisted with 

empty black eyes. 

Lost in the darkness. 

Searching for rest. 

Roaming through

the Halloween skies. 

There are believers 

and doubters and 

those in between. 

The ones who can't 

make up their mind.

Unsure of what 

goes bump 

in the night. 

Afraid of what they 

really might find. 

Soaring, gliding.

Suspended in time. 

Hear the echo of a 

low graveyard moan. 

Dancing amongst 

the headstones, 

hiding in the trees.

Are you sure that 

you're really alone?

A creature of legend

in campfire tales. 

The subject of 

Halloween lore. 

Not just a sheet

with holes 

cut for eyes. 

A specter who is 

something much more!!
