Spirit Board

This poem is about Spirit Boards, AKA Ouija Boards.

A spirit board connects the living to the voices of the dead.

It is unknown how accurate Oujia Boards are or if the letters they spell out our indeed our own consciousness telling us what it wants to hear.

I dabble in the paranormal.

I find interest in a different plain of excistence.

The thoughts of life after death.

The thought that loved ones are watching over us as ghosts.

That everything isn’t just over and we are worm food.

Perhaps I have the mind of a crazy person, looking for logic when there is little to be found.

Perhaps I don’t want to believe there is nothing beyond the light at the end of the tunnel.

I want to believe that our souls live on and can be reborn.

That the lessons learned in this life will be apparent in our next lifetime.

Can a spirit board made my Milton Bradley really answer all our questions about life and death?

This board is marketed as a game for ages eight and up.

How young is too young to reach out to spirits?

Is our subconscious mind the stuff that nightmares are made of?

Am I a good witch or am I a bad witch?

Only the spirit board knows.
