ghosts

if you listen hard enough...

it was far too late

for the shadows to be out

their routines had ended

and they were tucked away

back in the crevices.

i was in search of a ghost

to converse with,

knowing that they converse

very well past midnight,

seemingly fueled by

the light of the moon.

i had missed my chance again

and so i listenned

to the crickets instead,

chirp chirp, they whispered

go to sleep, you're very tired.

the ghosts can wait, boy,

they have all the time

in the world to tell stories,

even if you don't.

if you listen hard enough, or not at all, they tend to let us know what they want to, in their own time

I really love this
