Ghosts and Shades

We are all a different wandering ghost

This lowly vessel is merely a host

What colour is your ghostly shade? Bright blue and all aglow?

Sadly this is something you or I will never know

We are all a different shade

It's so sad how some can quickly fade

We all leave a different imprint on this world

How we live our lives is how it becomes unfurled

What imprint do you want to leave on this sphere of blue and green?

Something weird? Something clean? Something feared? Something unseen?

How do you want to leave this globe?

With tatty cloak or royal robe?

Do you want to go to heaven or to hell?

Or is there some otherworldly place you would rather dwell?

We all have a journey covered in code

It's up to you how you travel life's lonely road
