Rating: 4 laurels (out of 5 laurels)
Jill Terry's poem "Ghost Whispers" is a free verse poem about what happens to us when we die.
It is a poem about paranormal phenomenon.
The poet wonders where the soul goes after death:
"The soul that is released
When death falls upon us
To what dimension is it released....."
Death is such a mysterious phenomenon. Different religions have different ideas on what happens to the soul when a person dies.
The poet wonders if the soul can return back to its love ones:
"To retouch those it loved and left
To embrace them at another's hand
To make the motions without them being aware"
The poem touched me because it reminds me of my favorite movie "Ghost" which won the Oscars in 1987. In this movie, the ghost played by Partrick Swayze wants to communicate and embrace his loved one left behind played by Demi Moore. .
The poem's paranormal theme is quite similar to the movie's paranormal phenomenon.

Ghost Whispers
by Jill A. Terry

The soul that is released
When death falls upon us
To what dimension is it released.....
Could it return to this place.....
This void we refer to as life
To retouch those it loved and left
To embrace them at another's hand
To make the motions without them being aware
Only to be seen by those whose souls
It has already touched....
And being revealed.. much too late-
