Will a spirit fly when freed or,
may it linger at death’s closed door,
listening, peeping through the keyhole?
Watch funeral, hear eulogies,
or flee from sad faces and tears,
does a spirit still have a heart?
Do the dead rush with warm welcome
when a spirit newly arrives,
are reunions always happy?
If a spirit may sleep, can dreams
transmit positive messages
to console the living who mourn?

I Love it ! Definitely questions we ponder, right ? I’m into the paranormal and what happens after we transition to…..wherever ! I watch all the ghost shows, but prefer the stories from everyday people. ” My Ghost Story ” is the best I think, on Saturdays. I wanna go on a ghost hunt so bad !
Incidentally, I went back and added a few tags to my older posts, per your suggestion. Thanks for the advice, Elaine. I had some time to poke around on the site and check things out. Have a great day and keep writing. 🙂
You keep writing too!
may it linger at death’s closed door..love ＂closed door＂~so true feelings~xiexie E：）
Always appreciate your comments. 🙂
really interested poem. did it stem from any recent events? or rather deaths of someone? yes I am now on wordpress
I reworked a poem that was originally written when my brother passed away in September.
we believe that a person lingers around those he loved/loved him for a full year even if he is happy.
i dont believe in afterlife but i have had some very strange experiences after my mother passed away.
One year, that’s interesting. You’ve got me curious about your strange experiences. Thanks for commenting.
if i did not adamantly disbelieved in afterlife i might have become confident that she was with me.
I think we can’t know whether there is or isn’t an afterlife.
