The ghost of future past, 
benevolent but powerless 
present but in dreams 
and at that level 
real and tangible

unless those dreams 
become awake at day 
and fill the heart and mind 
with longing and belonging 
move the feet and hands

and slowly 
very slowly 
do become reality

and then that ghost 
becomes an angel ...

bringing warmth, 
taking ... home
