Lullaby No.27 - A Ghost

A ghost raced by the water
From the outside looking in
He saw his future self
Staring like a spirit laid across the waves
Dark grey clouds canvased the stark lit branches
The sun set through the empty conversation
A silhouette of love (in-verse)
A darkness from the inside looking out
Through the blue dusk painted on your glass
The dusky red on the rim of your step
Like the long shadow of night
Cast by your former self
Dancing along the water
’Til the morning settled in
A new life to crest and drink
From troughs along the garden of remembrance
Two ghosts in new dress
Handsomely waiving the continuity
And the water under the bridge was bulging
Time stood still from that moment


Jason Greendyk
