Midnight whispers, ghosts of the past.... <br />They've been dust for a century yet <br />Still they last... <br />Would they live again, <br />If given half a chance? <br />Would they sing again, <br />Of an ageless romance? <br /> <br />Echoes of yesterday, leading me on... <br />They are remnants of a sweet old song <br />I hear something saying that it is not gone. <br /> <br />The faintest whiff of roses... <br />A shadow cast by itself... <br />Is this the work of a ghost, <br />Or just some mischievous elf? <br /> <br />Am I unwise to have come here alone? <br />Yet I have the strangest impression, <br />A feeling that I've come home.<br /><br />Megan Lacey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ghosts-of-the-past-3/
