My Ghostly Presence

by

Daniel Chapa

Many people look at me
As if I am not there
I smile and I’m polite
But often they don’t care
I am treated like a vapor
Only space and empty air
Greeting all the world
With my confused and lonely stare

Who are you to ignore
My friendly pleasant smile
Your judgmental aversion face
Makes you seem hostile
I see many ashen faces
Displaying sudden fleshy denial
Their lips and eyes tell me
They’ve been lonely for awhile

Imagine what you’re missing
As you pass this miserable way
Ignoring my ghostly presence
As we pass here every day
Meet a shadow tell a story
Do this deed without delay
The empty space you meet
May change your life some day

Sharing life with those you meet
Gives a purpose to each day
Extend a smile to my spirit
As you pass me on your way
Each smile I receive makes
The mornings seem less grey

Why don't you look at The old Finnow River
