We Are Ghosts

Something light

Is anything really what we first thought?
We are but ghosts in transition
aimlessly searching for something
to hold onto.

like ships without rudders
no port in sight
we reach out for love
yet have no right

[Coyote Poetry]

With age. I see how un-important one life is. We are here for a short time. In death will fade away to a distance memory. I learn we best appreciate opportunity and try to enjoy our joys and sadness. I like the logic of this poem. Every line strong and with purpose. A outstanding poem.

we are ghosts, I feel your words deeply

[Goodbye]

It does feel like that sometimes.

Excellent little poem that speaks to me about disconnection, isolation...

I agree with Aven...the title sets the mood. This is light like Angel Food Cake, but rich like Devils Food Cake...mmmm....cake.... oh, sorry...my point. This is great. Has a distinct ethereal feel that searching for love often leave us wee mortals! Good job!

. ohhhh ... this is beautiful ... but no, no, no ... all of us have a right to reach out for love ... everyone ... sometimes it feels like we don't ... but we do ... let nothing and no one tell you otherwise ...

This actually reminds me of a paramore song hah. It seems as if you are speaking directly to the reader, an I love how smoothly it flows. Where did you get the inspiration for this poem?
