Ghost

What does it mean when

You are visited by a ghost 

Previously buried and forgotten

But just as soon as it was gone

It resurfaces

Whistling in the wind a haunting tune

 

They speak of good and bad spirits

I am trying to work out whether you are good or bad

Why is your tune haunting me so

Why me? Why now? Whhhhhyyyyyy?

As the past and the present align 

I continue to ask why?

 

Do I need to sleep with a bible and garlic 

Do I need to keep you at bay

What message have you brought from the past

Is it one of building or breaking 

 

 

Do I need to ask for forgiveness for my transgressions

Do I need to repent

Do you have a message for me

Is it closure you seek

Why are you in purgatory

Why hasn’t your spirit moved on

 

You linger and that haunting tune continues to whistle in the wind 

I guess only time will tell whether you are a good or bad spirit 

For now I brave the taunts and the haunting tune

I am a capable prayer warrior 

So good or bad, best believe my roots won’t be shaken
