Somewhere Safe Little Ghost, in your Mirrors
"Somewhere Safe Little Ghost, in your Mirrors"
You asked me,
what happens when we go -
then what next?
I replied to you,
“God, only knows, little ghost”.
You asked me,
“When you visit, after you go -
how will I know you’re there?’
I replied to you,
“Look for me
in your mirrors,
the windows to inside
never lie, little ghost.”
You asked me, then,
“What if I’m scared?
Will you visit me then?”
I replied,
“You won’t be scared.
You’ll be looking for me in everything,
you’ll know me inside out, by then.
I'll always be with you, I'll always be there."
Candide Diderot. ‘24
