I am sitting here.
I've been walking until I come across this river.
Taking a simple walk is so refreshing
in the middle of the forest.
A beautiful river flows.
and the sounds of birds chanting
I am still walking.
I don't get tired.
All I see is the beauty of nature.
I don't know this place.
I don't even know where I am.
No sign of other people
I've never been here.
I can't remember how I ended up here.
All I know is that
I was walking to the nearest supermarket.
with my grandmother.
We both saw a speeding van coming to us.
We both screamed.
But then,
I found myself here.
Did that van hit us?
Did we die?
Am I dead?
Am I a ghost?
I wonder where my grandmother is.
But I am not worried about her whereabouts.
I don't miss her.
and I don't remember anything.
Why am I not worried?
I am enjoying the serenity in this forest.
I think I am happy here.
no stress,
no hunger,
I'm always happy.
My level of happiness is just the same.
Maybe I am a half-ghost.
Else half-human.
I like this forest.
I like being here.

I love forests. My dwelling place. Beautiful! ❤️
Sometimes I wish I can just run away and go live in a cabin deep in the forest. Loved your poem!
Peaceful yet sad. I think she can be fully ghost and fully human. :)
I felt peace
Wow. it's a dream for me!
