The meter and pace of this poem is very well written. I liked your message that faith will carry you through when things look bleak and when you feel haunted by 'ghosts' of the past.
The contest was calling for a specific ghost though, rather than ghosts in general.

You captured the ghosts of regrets, of past actions, of past misdeeds inside this powerful poem, and how our Savior can put all of them to rest.
Beautifully crafted, with rhyming lines and a terrific reminder of how we can find peace amid our turmoil.
Well done.

Hi royowen,
As the opening prayer of the Anglican liturgy says - Almighty God, unto whom all hearts are open and all desires known ...' It is certainly all laid bare before him.

Absolutely true, Patrick, thanks my friend, great review, Roy.
Comment from Donovan
Very nice. The poem, as I read, it reminded me of Longfellow's "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day." The idea of despair and gloom pervading our life and in the last stanza freedom because of Him whose right it is to reign. I like it and Longfellow is pretty good company.

Excellent poem. Your writing felt ghostly.
The ghosts that saunter through my thoughts
are wraiths of shadow's blight,

this is an excellent write, royowen, you are so right, the past cannot be rebuilt by us because Christ has erased our past and the Holy Spirit resides there now. I wish you the best of luck in the contest.

Comment from alexisleech
It would be great if everyone who is blighted by past experiences could find the faith in God expressed in your moving poem. With wonderful rhyme and meter, you manage to express the feelings of foreboding we all suffer from occasionally. Thank you for reminding me how to deal with those moments through your poem.

This is a well written poetic voice with good flow and rhyme in its thoughts. You mat be writing about the ghost of a muse as it pertains to have a block in thoughts for writing. In any event. I enjoyed reading this excellent piece of poetic artistry... John
