I See People


When my eyelids struggle open,
From what may have been sleep.
I often see clearly strange people,
That should make my skin creep.

But they flash by my eyes,
Very quickly and then are gone.
They pose no threat to me,
Or the dream I had been on.

Instead, they are in full color,
In contemporary, ordinary attire.
They pose no threat whatsoever,
Illicit my curiosity, not ire.

Some of them are younger,
and some of them, middle-age,
But none of them are old ghosts,
Quickly gone like a turned page.

Some of them move quickly,
Across my large bedroom.
Others appear close to me,
Like my caregivers in the room.

These images are totally new,
Don“t fit the traditional ghost view.
Instead, they are non-threatening,
Appear infrequently, few.

I“ll leave it to your own conclusions,
If you see them, too.
While I will fade from the page,
Turn it, you always do.


Momentary

Momentary People in My Bedroom Ron AI

Occasionally, in the morning when I'm waking up
and start to open my eyes, I will see someone in
the room that is rather ordinary either close or
moving across the room. They are non-threatening
and certainly not what would be described as ghosts.
More like images my brain creates just for fun.
Leaving me curious as to who it might be for an
instant, and then, too, they are gone.
