The Phantom in the White House
Beneath the chandeliers’ timeless glow,
Where whispered secrets ebb and flow,
A shadow moves through marble halls,
Unseen, yet present, beyond the walls.
By moonlight’s gleam, the gardens sigh,
As winds recall a bygone cry.
A creaking step, a ghostly trace,
Lingering in this hallowed space.
But when the night grows cold and still,
A dreadful chill begins to fill.
A mournful moan, a creaking door,
The phantom stirs from ages’ lore.
Its steps are heavy, its breath like frost,
A soul untethered, forever lost.
In rooms once bright, now cloaked in dread,
It roams among the living and dead.
A whisper soft, a sudden groan,
The crackling hum of the unknown.
It watches those who dare to stay,
Its hollow eyes a cold decay.
Through each new age, the phantom stays,
Witnessing power’s transient days.
Its spectral hand haunts the power’s throne,
A chilling sign you’re never alone.

This is kind a freaky if it isn't a Canuck, it could be a Confederate soldier. Good job.
As a Canadian, this caught my eye. Ya know, since we burned it down in 1812 and all. Maybe the spirit is a Canuck! :-) Enjoyed the piece, and the chill!
