ghost in the hollows
stone walls confining spirit
rise up to pass on
life finds a way
in the most inhospitable
conditions
places
times
to
survive
thrive
flourish
so too
can I
I lived my life
So very small
Now left to wonder
Shall I shuffle off
Before I ever roared
As so many others
Come and gone
Faintest whispers
On the wind
We navigated
The long night
To morning’s welcome
This new shore
Beckoning
To understand this
Is to master life
To master life
One must master death
I awaken
To the phantom
That is who I have become
