There is a ghost next to me
On this park bench
I don’t know what he wants
Or what is that stench
Hello Mr ghost
What is your name?
It is Harry kind sir
Are you a bit insane?
Why do you say that?
Asked puzzled little me
I can see you clear as day
Like the birds and the bees
No one has ever seen me
I have been here for years
I lost my life on this bench
Holding back ghostly tears
Were you homeless Harry?
I asked with concern
He nodded his head
They do never learn
What happened? I asked
Why did you die here?
Did you not have a family?
Nobody near?
Nobody who cared, he said
Not ever enough
It was the cold that killed me
My body had enough
But Harry, I said
Why can you not pass?
What’s stopping you?
Blocking your path?
I guess I needed to tell my story
Maybe it may change something
If it does not
Can we talk again?
