Healing (for an old mate)

The ghostly feeling

When something goes wrong

That used to be right

A spirit full of might

Speaks to you in whispers

Sometimes in sleep

As it seeps into your conscience

Telling you that the devil inside

Has nowhere to hide

When the spark of life

Is the saint that casts away the dark

As the healing brings you back

From that you did not see

Life’s light

Is a soul with a neon sign

Saying you’re still on this earth

As your heart recalls its rhyme

Because its not your time.
