Day to Day - a poem


A ghost felt flash of heart beat
while floating about old room
with made-up bed, fluffed pillows
reminding him of what he once
was.  It did not take much for
life to find the ectoplasmic
existence inadequate for a lively
ghost.  In matters of seconds
life was restored, beeping monitor
beeped away nighttime, hid
away nightmares in beep-beep-
beep tones, and the thumpity, thump,
thump of a mass of muscle
inside chest cavity.   Ghost felt
summer winds again, smiled through
transition, wondering if it was
permanent, but not caring much
to ponder negativity inherent
in that thinking.  Optimistically
floating in the heat of moments
enjoying life, with a pulse
again.
