a gentle haunting that, nevertheless,
can stab at the heart
in the quiet moment.
The voice is sweetly insistent,
a slender, unbreakable thread
leading you haltingly
back to the past.
But you would not silence it,
would you?
You would not be the one
to murder memory?
For each well remembered
moment of tenderness
helps build a raft
for the endless sea.
It's not the "ghost" that troubles,
only the fact that
it might be the first
to quit the haunting
John R. Nicoll (for A).
