Sense a presence around me
subtle shades of shadows
move and coalesce like smoke
in peripheral sight i see movement
to turn and see nothing is there
the hair on the back of my neck
stands at the breaking point
am i hallucinating or just paranoid?
I believe you are there in spirit
a sworn protector of this lair
as if you had never left this life
your whispers fill the empty spaces
a blessed soul of memories
brings tears to these eyes
and reminds me of more lively times
when you said you would always be
here amidst us living closely
now beyond the threshold of life
you live in between the stars
soaring on the wings of eternity
