I Once Belonged

I once belonged to a paranormal group

just wanting to see a spook!

Sitting for hours in buildings in the dark

even in a country park.

At first it was fun and a fantastic team

but now a faded dream.

 

Plenty of  investigations to get that thrill

but I am waiting still.

To see a single shadow or spectral entity

or was I too thick to see?

Being an ordinary guy the fun was gone

as technology came along.

 

From investigating as a tight working unit

technology became the remit.

And in the end I felt like a lone bystander

the equipment handler.

Unable to embrace the wonders of science

or its clever appliance.

 

It must have been seven years I was involved

the problems never resolved.

I shall miss travelling near and sometimes far

with anticipation in the car.

Hoping for a positive and rewarding result

a little proof sought.

 

With regret that period in my life has passed

but a wider net is now cast.

My interest in the paranormal is very strong

and new adventures I long!

 

Thus my personal journey carries on!

 

The Foureyed Poet.
