I'll see you at your funeral, if you'll see me at mine. I'll wait at the edges for your ghost to rise (until the end of time). We'll find someplace nice to haunt, an abandoned beach house filled with memories of summer sunburns. Children will giggle as we tickle their feet at night and they'll never know the bad dreams we fight. We'll make our own heaven. Walking in places we used to walk until death, dies.

The Place Where I Wait
I'll see you at your funeral, if you'll see me at mine. I'll wait at the edges for your ghost to rise (until the end of time). We'll find someplace nice to haunt, an abandoned beach house filled with memories of summer sunburns. Children will giggle as we tickle their feet at night and they'll never know the bad dreams we fight. We'll make our own heaven. Walking in places we used to walk until death, dies.

hey, this post betrays the usual sense of saudade that threads the other postings.
ReplyDeleteI tend to switch between saudade and limerance every now and again.
ReplyDeleteI really,really,really love this.Especially the part "and they'll never know the bad dreams we fight".(by the way, limerance is always good)
ReplyDeleteWow. Such a photograph, such text.. Like us, this pairing is powerful.
ReplyDeleteLet's not wait till we shuffle off this mortal coil to do these things, if not subtly + with the knowledge of a graceful metaphor.
that scared me, really. the one about tickling their feet at night. not a pretty thing think about before going to bed. .
ReplyDeleteI find the idea of ghosts tickling my feet at night while I dream beautiful. But I'm weird like that.
ReplyDeleteThis is another one that I can't even begin to tell you how GREAT it is. I love it <3
ReplyDeleteThere is no room in my heart for rejection.
ReplyDeleteOnly hope.
A friend of mine passed away early this morning. Today's post was a comfort.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me a lot of "What Dreams May Come."
