Spirits

They linger on earth,
Lurk on abandoned corners,
Cold and dark,
Of schools, hospitals, churches.

A gust of wind,
And goosebumps form
On the arms of individuals
Who huddle in fear.

Shadows crawl on the floor
Then dance on walls
With the flicker of candlelight
On a slowly melting wax.

Eyes are closed,
Hands are joined and
Prayers are uttered
So the restless may find peace.

  1. Nice. At ang ganda ng last stanza.

    Malamig ang hangin dito sa amin ngayon.. sobrang tahimik din. Mag-isa lang ako sa room.. Nakakabingi yung katahimikan. Rrrrr.... Goosebumps.

    Buti na lang, may internet. LOL..

    Happy Halloween!

  2. Dito naman sa bahay namin, nagsabit si Papa ng mga maliliit na plastic Jack-o-Lanterns at skulls sa gate. Aliw! Hehehe

    Happy Halloween Ms. Leah! :D

  3. I like this take on spirits. It had the ghostly Halloween feel as well as the spiritual. Thanks for sharing
