A Spirit of Old

I sing to souls from the past
the ones who are barely hanging on
or who have lived long
and are now gone.
An old soul
a spirit of old,
that’s what I am
I believe, and so I’ve been told.
I cling to what I feel is real
because my current life
feels far and out of reach
so I share thoughts
And sometimes preach
of the beliefs
I’ve brought from a time
when things were simple,
when things were divine
and these words and feelings,
could last an entire lifetime.
