Awakened Are
The Mighty Dead

Within the silence, movements come,
just out of range of a viewing eye
I think I heard a cry - a sigh?
Could just be imagination

And within the cold, dark
deepest night,
a ruffle of the blankets
out of sight

Caught in a dream,
yet I could not fight
the fear, and trepidation

For as I lay
it seeks and comes
Ethereal, it roams,
to choose the one
who it will haunt
as the setting sun
begins its manifestation

An entity dark -
not of this world
So dark, impure
my heart was filled
with fear and dread
my heart was stilled,
I pray for my
salvation

Yet prayers, they fall,
on God's deaf ears
as the dead of night
heightens my fears

The banging on
the bedroom door
brings tears,
and closer
to my annihilation

And so I shake
alone, in bed,
for awakened are
the mighty dead
that will haunt me
to my dying breath,
as the bedroom
door creeks
OPEN...

WOW Wayne I just am left totally speechless
this one was perfect from the content to the smooth thyme and rhyme.
And loved the ending a cliff hanger.
Roses to you
blooming
