Exercising This Spirit Comments

That is one way - a creative way - to approach Life After Death. Hamlet says in his TO BE OR NOT TO BE, no one comes back to the world after death, but he had just talked to the Ghost who does just that! ! Was Shakespeare aware of this inconsistency? Did it matter to him? It bothers me. But there is no inconsistency in your poem. You speak confidently and intimately about life and death, there is quiet acceptance. You don't try to say more than what you know. It's feelings that concern you, not thoughts.
