A Girl In White Poem by Renu Kakkar

A girl dressed all in white,
walks alongside the roads every night.
She disappears as soon as the darkness goes,
and as the sun peeps through the clouds.

Stopping any motorists or a hiker,
walking the roads or even a bicker.
Asking for a lift to her home,
situated at the outskirts of the town.

Outside the town is a cemetery,
the car stops at the gate suddenly.
She gets down or not no one knows,
as she is not seen in cars or where she goes.

They say she died suddenly,
while travelling on this road to her family.
A motorist was driving at very high speed,
hitting her and flinging her body high indeed.

Her head hit the road thereafter,
and she died without being aware.
Her soul travels the same road every night,
homeward bound, she is dressed in white.
