Apparition of Love

There in the garden,

was the place he liked best,

here was where her,

flowers blossomed and grew.

 

So long now that she’d gone,

but here beneath the moon and the stars,

they met each night,

him and his apparition of love.

 

He now waited for the midnight hour,

when he knew she’d come

and as his heart beat faster,

he felt her hand slipping into his.

 

He looked at that lovely ghostly face,

her smile so brilliant,

as she softly sighed –

he could have cried.

 

Then she rose from the bench

and he watched as she floated along.

Touching each precious bloom,

that in life she had loved so very much.

 

She was so lovely,

now frozen in time,

returning to him –

the only love she had ever known.

 

No matter what the season,

she found a reason,

to bring him great joy,

whenever she appeared to him.

 

In the wintertime,

when the garden was covered in snow,

she would create snow flowers –

that shimmered with a silvery glow.

 

As he rose to go to her,

she turned toward him

and for just a moment –

he saw her as she had looked the day she went away.

 

Then the careworn face,

was replaced by ethereal beauty,

a special glow was all about her,

this spirit that waited for him up yonder.

 

She waved her hands

and suddenly their love song began to play.

He reached out to her

and they danced among the flowers.

 

If one would look over the garden fence,

they would see,

an elderly gentleman,

waltzing with the air unless they truly believed.

 

But he didn’t care,

not when she was there,

so lovely and so very young,

like on the day that they met.

 

So through the years,

while waiting for the angels to come,

he enjoyed these ghostly visits –

just him and his only love.
