The Languid Girl

Last night
As my husband was working
He came across a sight
That gave him intense fright!

A full bodied apparition
A girl, angelic of face
with black hair to her waist
Dressed in garb
From another time
Her expression
From another dimension
At him- through him she stared
A circling of energy they shared
It poured outside
Yet she was fully dry

Shivers ran throughout his body
as this figure was moving so slow
with sadness, depression
Surrounding her like a cloak
Was she real?
Or was she a ghost?
