There’s someone who listens and protects you." “Are you talking about a previous lifetime?” “I don’t think it makes sense.

Ghosts …. by Indira
Do I Believe In Ghosts?
I believe in ghosts.
No. Not the dead person’s ghost but one who lives among us living a ghost’s life.
I have noticed their presence in society.
As far as politicians are concerned, their miseries, poverty, pain, and their plight, everything is invisible till the elections come.
They live like ghosts. No one bothers about them till they are needed by vested interests.
Then I have seen some ghosts, in homes, society, parties where no one notices them, no one hears what they have to say till their services. are needed.

Do ghosts, witches, demons, angels
Spirits really exist
Or are they are imaginary,
a figment of your mind
Your faith is their strength
The reason for their existence
If you believe
They are everywhere
If you don’t
They are nowhere

Don’t upset the spirits …. by Francis the Frenchie
Do I believe in ghosts?
How exactly can you not?
I bravely barked at something by the backyard posts;
Do I believe in ghosts?
Dad looked, you’re gone, and must think we’re terrible hosts,
Now I’m waiting for a devil’s kiss, my stomach’s in a knot.
Do I believe in ghosts?
How exactly can you not?

Happy Halloween ....by VJ Knutson
My mother talks non-stop at the dining table. The stories she recounts ad nauseam can start from the 1950s. I’ve heard different versions of the same incident umpteen times, and know how people and stories change inside one’s head. I look around a little more and find this to be a widespread disease with people … Continue reading Forward movement
It’s the same room. The table fan and bookshelf are replaced by contemporary versions. The bookshelf is a wall-unit in W shape with few lightweight books and three soft toys. “Who reads anyway?” My uncle says sheepishly. Yet, vellichor makes me feel my late grandfather’s presence there. (48 words) https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2021/10/30/weekend-writing-prompt-233-vellichor/
