This one was supposed to be longer then it actually was. And in my world of random poetry of heartbreak, sadness and anger, I came up with this one. I cut this one down to size to just a page of it and put the stuff that I was really trying to put in. It is a slimmed down version of a two page poem, I hope the reader enjoys. Comments are Open.

The Spirit

 

In a world

Of

Black and White

A funeral

Wake.

 

No one

Can see him

The whole body

Is mostly concealed

In black.

 

The person sits

A lighter

In his hands

Hunched over.

 

Above him

Is a casket

Of himself.

 

Perhaps

He is crying

But no one

Can tell

Or perhaps

He is just

A lost soul

Just trying

To find

His way.

 

And the lighter

Is the only thing

Of true light

In a world of

Black and White.

    Nicely written piece.The concept of the life and afterlife can mean differently for different people sometimes.
