GHOSTS What are these ghosts I see in the night and day?
Are they ancestors Here to share the secrets of the past With me and the God within me?
Are they my grandparents Here to bless me and my little one Come to give me advice On all they know and have learnt Come to ready me and my little one For this planet?
Are they malevolent spirits Come to torment me and my little one Here to shake our delicate balance Of common body and soul?
Are they my past deeds Catching up on me like a tornado Ruining my night’s sleep Upsetting my little one Paying me back for what I’ve done?
Is it you, God Here to test me and my little one Come to check on the sturdiness Of our faith, on the cleanliness Of our souls Teaching me a lesson In goodness and strength?
Or is it just me, my little one Dreaming that I’m dreaming Worried for you and myself Seeing visions in the night Because of my fears and anxieties?
Whoever it is, whatever it is Forgive me, my little one For the nervous nights and jumpy days For the knots inside me That must be so frightening for you Forgive me, sweets I will grow up soon Promise, I will grow up Before you are born. ~Aekta~
