The spirit silhouetted like a phantom in the reflection
Looking back I see just an ordinary woman standing
Can I be dreaming the impossible dreams
Or this the reality always hidden from the obvious
In the shade of towering ego, hide a delicate soul
Trying to break free and be noticed for a change

Funny silhouettes it sometimes made.
Was that a phantom I glimpsed in fright?
The moon’s glow disappears, reminding me it was night.
Spirits roam through my house.
Quiet as a church yard mouse.
Back to sleep I must go.
Too many distractions you know.
I am inspired by the following words, and offer the same as a writing prompt for this week.

sunsetted skies amusing
pensive days beyond

Diminished ….. by Susi Bocks
what feels seen
but only in spirit
belies reality
we’re hidden in shade
the silhouette
like phantom pain
