I really don’t think I’m haunted
A ghost certainly not wanted
Yes I’ve had lonely times
I hear the hands of a clock chime
My couch is empty, so is my bed
But evenings I no longer dread
It’s cloudy days and grayish morns
When harvest time the field adorns
It’s hard to rise without the sun
Something I count on when sleep is done
But a ghost? I think not for me
Unless it’s my love coming to me
And then how would I survive
When he returns and I’m still alive
A conundrum for the wise souls
Who know how fate is doled.

I love the sense of autumn you evoke here with the late sunrise and the gray.
But hh, a conundrum indeed! Something not often considered in ghost tales. Well done!
