Once upon a never, such moments, lived in strife

She’s always chasing rainbows, lost in another life

Dreams become illusions, fantasy fills her days

Leaving her wanting, and restless, in so many ways

Stuck inside, a mindless state, impatiently, she waits

For emptiness to fill the hours that time cannot abate

For this week’s challenge, Colleen has chosen Ghost and Hollow as the prompts.  But there’s a catch!! #SynonymsOnly!  Rules can be found at the link below!  Have fun!


The
Spirits
Are restless
Tonight, they howl
With the wind, blowing
Like a banshee, screaming
Into space, they float away
Bringing them closer to nothing
They disappear in the emptiness
Spectral beings, ever lost, in the void

A sudden breeze, took me by surprise

I let go, my heart, set free

I watched it sail, into the sky

Til I could no longer see

Into the wind, it wallowed

Enjoying the ride, while I cursed

I stood there hoping it would return to me

For I knew, at some point, it would burst

A tear fell from my cheek

As I watched it slip away

I wore my heart out on my sleeve

On that very fateful day

When I lost the only thing I knew

My tears, now overflowing

I am left to find, what I could never replace

And I sigh with the winds, still blowing

Overgrown flora adorns this place

Hiding what’s under the cement staircase

No one will journey beyond the gates

Lest they find out what certainly awaits

Dare not, to step on this place of death

Careful! This could mean your very last breath

So many souls are forgotten here

Left all alone, yet you’ll still feel them near

Though emptiness fills this hallowed ground

The spirits still linger, make nary a sound

No need for a raucous, this they well know

Just a harsh, subtle whisper, reveals them so

the mountain cries,

tears of tomorrow

filling the emptiness

with briny waters

sating a thirsty Earth

where man dare only look

upon her sacred ground

unwelcome in her paradise
