I am a ghost

an alien

an unidentified flying object.

I believe in me.

I am a miracle,

a transfiguration,

an apparition,

I believe in me.

I am salvation

resurrection

an assumption

I believe in me.

Have I introduced you to the ghost that came to live in Cork before the flood?

The one who settled down …

The one who will come again …

One thought on “I am a ghost”

  1. Old English gast “breath; good or bad spirit, angel, demon; person, man, human being,” in Biblical use “soul, spirit, life,” from Proto-West Germanic *gaistaz (source also of Old Saxon gest, Old Frisian jest, Middle Dutch gheest, Dutch geest, German Geist “spirit, ghost”). This is conjectured to be from a PIE root *gheis-, used in forming words involving the notions of excitement, amazement, or fear (source also of Sanskrit hedah “wrath;” Avestan zaesha- “horrible, frightful;” Gothic usgaisjan, Old English gæstan “to frighten”). From: Origin and meaning of ghost by Etymonline
