once upon a time - OLD SOULS by john Mc Guckin

When old souls meet on city streets and

pass one another by, you know then,that

all is not well in the nether world of the meek.

Old hurts should have faded away, though it's

Odd in the afterlife, that ghosts can slip away

without being seen,on cold damp city streets.

I wonder if the street was brightly lit would they

be as will o the wisps fading into the light

without a by your leave. graveyard like, light fades

into night and there the ghosts of old souls are

haunting down enemy's who are still full of life.
