I am haunted 

by a ghost who once turned a

dove into a dragon

Three times in the night,

I have spoken your name aloud,

asking you to come to me 

in any small way 

Three times you have answered 

unknowingly 

Each time

I shake my head,

disbelieving

But there you were,

12 hours behind me

Somehow I have this power 

over you

You, who are innocent 

caught up unaware

What an extraordinary cosmic joke

 Because I mean nothing 

to you

Nor will this poem

Or the soft, gentle calling of my soul
