OMNIPRESENCE

 

Still the house, night lights only,

past midnight I heard it distinctly

the clear rustle of my thin blanket

as instinctively I felt the presence

of a visit by someone quite pleasant.

 

Quietly, not moving I laid in my bed

wondering if I should my visitor dread,

when suddenly, very gently a firm kiss

on my lips I felt - I knew that the kiss

was from my dear Molly long deceased.

 

Now at peace, quite happy, I embraced

what surely must have been her spirit,

thanking her for her visit, love and care,

seeking her visit once again as permitted

and as previously gracefully completed.
