Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Free verse

Crystal Ball

Visiting my Alma Mater
Stepped into the small garden.
Sweet memories with her 
In battalion returned.
A voice spoke to me faintly
“I will grant you two wishes”.
I could think of nothing but my Grace
Who died in a fatal car accident.
Surprised but asked for first wish
“Give me back my Grace”
Saw her shadow in a tree,
She came, sat but couldn’t touch her.
She was just smoke and air.
Immediately opted for the second wish
“Let her rest in peace”.

Keith O.J. Hunt March 17, 2014 at 6:53 PM Good write! ' Saw her shadow in a tree....' 'She was just smoke and air....' Vivid ---- I can sympathize, a few too many losses for me in recent years, but poets like you make it easier to cope with, so one can have a deeper understanding of life through gain, as well as loss. Nice vision Doc!
