Orbs of Past
Victoria Lamphear 1968 (TN)
Being a teen of mischievousness
Having others over while parents were gone
Telling ghost stories to scare them
Pretending I was possessed
I knew than I was unique
I did not realize this was the day
The day for the appearance
As I and a young boy was in my room
A orb showed, green and brightly
It showed itself in midair
went from one side of the room to the other
Once in the middle, it dropped
Like a flash of light
Screaming and running from the room we went
Telling all who would listen
Only taunted because of my persistence that I
I was possessed
An orb good or bad
An orb that will not be forgotten
A friend never heard from again
