Ghost Poem by Shelvakumari Thachayil

Once at midnight I wandered through the nature
Deep silence keep everywhere
Number of stars sparkling in the sky
They are murmering something
A wind passess with a glimpse of florence
Mind is still with cool of night
After a while I met a shadowy figure
Flowing like a bird
Felt a bad vibe
I was so afraid that I could not force words out of my mouth.
She was a ghost of someone
With full of admiration I
Whispered like me a living ghost!
Neverthlessshe was a corpse
Then talking to me without language
Few years ago a reporter of a Newspaper
And a daughter, good social worker too
So cute and petty of parents
Loves flowers butterflies and music
