A Ghost Awakes

Oh I could scream out your name
splitting reality into so many threads
so many days so many nights all the ways
Love has to say what is said, too wild to tame
the dreaming soul, a sleep-walking ghost awakes
so long lost at sea, for Heaven's sakes come to me,
when you rise to kiss the morning with a beautiful tear
Oh I could scream in a dream just to wander somewhere near,
when you open your eyes a perfect shade of heaven's gray
and I fall to my free/hearing sisters of mercy pray,
They say, they say they say they say
'Return to Earth, look not upon angels, just to fall to f a l l'
. . .
Like a spirit bright, aflame
A dreaming soul, a sleep-walking ghost awakes
Oh, I could s c r e a m out your name

Poetry by Chaucer Whethers
