Being Here

I don't mind being a ghost any longer
Even in my corporeal days I would watch others
silently as they passed me

Now I watch and pass between and through
those I watch
                      I can peer directly into their eyes
and see truths even they have forgotten

There are times it is hard not to miss the body
But you have never known the joy of weightless flight
ascending and descending through earth and sky

I have learned that we never learn
that perhaps we are trying to learn as best we can
while there is still a chance

Do not worry  I am not always watching you
but there are many of us wishing you success
in the world we left behind
