A Midnight Hour

  A midnight hour spawned the sight   of ghostly specters, all in white.   They shimmered in the corners where   their moans and sighings filled the air.   I bade them all be gone from me   but was ignored I soon could see.   I wondered why they had appeared   and as approach of morning neared,   I watched them fade away until   my room was empty and quite still.   Is this an omen I should fear   and will they ever reappear?   I have a feeling that they might   upon some other sleepless night.   They are the dreams that didn't grow.   They are the secrets that I know.   They are regrets for things that I   had planned to do, but didn't try.
