The thought flew into my mind,

uninvited yet intensely awaited;

A longing that caught me off-guard,

encircling me in a hallucinatory embrace.

Remember me for faster sign in

Images of my past floated up from the glistening piece of paper,

phantoms of people ten thousand miles away;

They danced around in careless euphoria,

carrying me back to a childhood almost forgotten.

But the journey stopped far too soon,

it lasted only for a fleeting moment;

And the ghosts who came to mock me,

disappeared just as suddenly as they arrived.
