Through ruins, I try to make my escape

Unable to see, yet I sense my mistake

Moving about, with no reason nor rhyme

Knowing, so well, I’m near out of time

Can’t remove this mask, there’s no point in asking

Dare to take one more step, I feel my life crashing

Trying to run, from what I fear most

I find myself, floating, as now I am a ghost

I spent the day in quiet thought, the time passed by like lightning

How could these musings be so fraught, how could they be so frightening?

I tried to clear the darkness, yet it fought its way back in

And that was when I realized, exactly where I’d been

Lost in shadows, I crept about, noticing things encumbered

No longer freeing, always fleeing, my soul, for sure, outnumbered

She traveled quietly, about the town, no one seemed to greet her

Eerily floating above the street, I didn’t want to meet her

Soon she vanished, without a trace, and I felt myself relieved

Still I pondered why she came, and what I, did now, perceive

Through the mists of time,

Spirits gather and recall

Days long forgotten,

Not remembering at all

Shadows upon the river bank,

That no one else can see

Together, they stand,

Blending in,

For all eternity

 

If you look closely enough, you’ll see them lined up along the river…. or do you?

She froze, like frost on blades of grass in morning

No need to venture farther, she’d heed this final warning

Footsteps in the distance, she was not there alone

Was that a floorboard creaking, or a wandering spirit’s moan?

Stretching out, listening, hoping she could hear

Shrinking back against the wall, all she felt was fear

Heartbeats getting louder, twas the pounding of her heart

Knowing she’d no time to waste, this demon she’d outsmart

Bathed in sweat, and shivering, her clothes now soaked, it seemed

Waking up, inside her head, afraid of her own dream
