A Ghost Tale

by

Diane Klammer

There was a ghost loved by a river
Who stayed beside a central pond
A thousand wood sprites by him lingered
Hiding him with golden frond

He could not bear to leave the river
Which soothed him often in his youth
With brilliant colors green and silver
Singing sunlight mist and truth

He wasn't doomed he made the choice
To stay amidst that pond of blue
Singing songs with spirits voice
As rushing waters changed their hue

For he had vowed when he was living
To stay beside that river free
Until that last drop oh so giving
Made it to the sparkling sea

And so he watched the river tumble
Through a course quite long and swift
Each meander splash and rumble
Was treasured as a precious gift

When the river's journey ended
And every drop was ocean round
The ghost looked back as he intended
And with a kiss was heaven bound
