Spirits Of The Dead Poem by Dave Alan Walker

Spirits Of The Dead

Rating: 4.7


As the spirits of the dead
Rise from the fires of death

I feel a presence
In my minds eye
Of all the lost souls
Fighting for their lives

I hear a voice
In my head
Telling me they are dead

But then I hear
The shadowed souls

It is we who have lived
It is you who is lost

I read this again and again, just to understand the content, for me this is a philosophical thought about a dead soul, what he/she feels when he/she perceives other Beings in unknown world. Its a great work, but i still need alittle explanation. Thanks

Great poem, with respects to Edgar Alan Poe, you might want to change one word in the title, I'm just saying, no biggie.

The last two lines, amazing I must say. I wish those souls could say more, great work.

There's a suddeness to this poem that I applaude; it just grabs onto you (or at least me!) , like a spirit from another realm; very good thinking here Dave. Write-on.
