I’ve become a bit addicted to listening to Art Bell’s
Ghost to Ghost part of his Coast to Coast programs
available on YouTube
I like the scares, the uniqueness, of the spectral tales
glimpses into another dimension, thrills galore,
loads of ghosts
maybe I’m hooked on these ghost stories because
at my age I could be close to becoming one
if so, my intent is not to hang around and haunt a musty, old house
or scare living people; I’ll have better things to do
perhaps I’ll merge with the cosmos and live forever
in the eternal peace and bliss of cosmic consciousness
but if I had a choice, I’d rather be in an idyllic paradise beyond
the tragedies and tears of this impermanent world – young again
in love forever with a divinely beautiful soulmate.
