Spirits

Spirits

I've heard about spirits
Who linger the earth...
They wander in pain...
And "stake-out" some turf...
Scaring the hell out of  
Those still alive...
With "spooky-like" images--
Like it's how they survive...
What I don't get is...
Why they haven't gone...
For some silly posession...
They're still hanging on.
Afraid to let go of
The "flash" of their lives...
An "instant" in time...
But, forever they strive...
To me they are lost
And won't see the light...
The doors to Utopia..
Are there within sight.
That's why I have worked
To rid my desire
Of worldly posessions...
For of them we will tire...
Do they not know!
Can they not see!
This world's NOT the end...
Beyond is ecstasy...
The chance to be free...
Truly free...
