an angel, a ghost.

by Andrew S Adams

with an angels grace,
the wind whispers like a ghost;
the silent raindrops gently kiss
the empty sidewalks;

the air is thick as
the fireflies seek out shelter-
their refuge illuminates the city streets
in the midst of a great awakening;

but we are locked indoors-
our windows our only means
to witness what may lay ahead;
and yet, staring through the glass
we choose instead to lament
the last moments of a life
we've left behind;

like a wasted night of endless possibility,
our fears will come to be our every regret.

I had to read this over and over again and upon every read I liked it a little bit more. It's so thought provoking. I simply love it.
