/sword
in the way
by the well
it is said
she will rise from the blue
and it is true
...chilly mossy air
petticoats and nighties
little torch
and walloping gumboots
pig tails and
bandaids
the little girl went running
the rust of the bucket
the shadows cast by the hidden moon
a bolt of lightning in a far away tree
scare her a little
but she goes on
..at the well
she points and whispers
and there is the ghost-ish-thing
with its sad sad eyes
it tells the girl of the slashes
and deaths the swords
and the wars
have caused in its time and
it tells the girl
to stop the wars from happening again and again
...the little girl often visits the ghost
she is not frightened as the ghost has never sought to harm her
instead she listens, and learns
the ghost is her teacher
