Guardian Angel?

Guardian Angel?

 

I think I’m being haunted by

 a female ghost who constantly

 Appears to want to be with me

Although I can’t imagine why.

 

I ask her but she wont reply.

She seems afraid to meet my eye.

I think she thinks she and I

 have shared some common history.

 

I see her as faint image .

A blurred impression from a page

of fashions from a bygone age

Or some actress upon the stage.

 

 A misty figure clad in grey

stays close to me by night and day

 I ask again but she won’t say

She cannot seem to stay away.

 

I don’t know who she is or was

 and I will never know because.

She thinks I ought to know of course.

 Which in itself should give me pause.

 

She only comes when no one is here.

I sense her presence drawing near

 then hazily she will appear .

This silent ghost from yesteryear.

 

I see no reason for alarm

 I know she does not wish me harm

In fact she has a certain charm.

Her quietness a healing balm.

 

 Which soothes my mind and set me free

from all the noise which bothers me.

Incessantly and ceaselessly.

She offers quiet company.

 

She places no demands on me.

She is content apparently

 to visit unobtrusively,

 when she desires my company.

 

I do not know if she chose me

or I chose her subconsciously.

 Sometimes I doubt my sanity

 but she is very real to me.

 

Perhaps she’s just a fantasy

 I’m well aware that she might be.

 Or some forgotten memory

 of someone who was dear to me.

 

My mother died when I was small

 it could be her who I recall.

I have no memories at all

The passing years erased them all

Wow! This is a very touching piece. I love the set up of the lines and the rhyme schemes.
