Ghost
My heart is true
My love is deep
My care is strong
My gentleness as
soft as a breeze.
A knight without
a Lady
I kneel before a ghost.
I pledge my honor and loyalty,
My fidelity and courage,
To none but an apparition.
I feel her there,
I know her spirit.
Her kindness has touched me
I have felt her heart.
Yet our paths have not crossed
in all the years of the journey
So I resign myself to believe
we were born in different times.
Never to meet as one.
And I kneel before a ghost
and kiss the hand
of an apparition.
