Today I woke up and turned on the TV. The first image I saw was of corpses in Iran after airstrikes. I immediately thought: I wish these bodies could be freed from pain. Then the word “ghosts” came to mind. That is how this haiku was born.
This haiku will be part of the selection of poems in my poetry book.
May we find peace.
Ghost
Shade in the mirror
peace, silence, eternity,
timeless, free of pain
