Lurking Shadows

I sense there's something lurking Out the corner of my eye But when I turn to take a look Away it seems to fly Maybe I am haunted By a dream that's all but vanished Perhaps it's by some buried thought That refuses to stay banished Maybe it's a memory I thought I'd slain at best Escaping from it's prison bonds It must be laid to rest I feel that something's surfaced Like a ghost it must be chased Can't keep fearing shadows My demons must be faced

After a very super weekend I am back at the soup reading. I enjoyed reading your poetry this afternoon Emma. There are so many diverse writers here and I am so happy I am able to read most of them. Have a wonderful week and may you find what you are looking for in life and in your writing. Love, Carol
