A Ghost - a Fallacy - A Spirit (for Carry On Tuesday)

 

This was written in response to the prompt from this week's Carry On Tuesday.

 

It was the third day of the new year

Very early that day, the sun stayed away

and offered up fog instead of gold rays

If a man were to have appeared

I would have believed he wasn't there

I would have called him a hallucination

A ghost - a fallacy - a spirit created from my

Own yearnings. "Pull over and stop!"

I cried, wanting to collect forever

The image of that misty, moisty morning

when I felt my tears in my toes, my gut, my

jaunty knit hit but didn't manage

to have the courage to let the

tears take their standard, gravity

driven course it normally follows

Perhaps it is I who is the

Ghost - the fallacy - the spirit

Love the strength of feeling in 'I felt my tears in my toes'.

OOOO Lovely twist of thought...
"Perhaps it is I who is the
Ghost - the fallacy - the spirit"
Wonderful ideas!

Loved what you've done with the theme of uncried tears.
