Shadow Mist, Fear of Past Sins

Shadow Mist, Fear Of Past Sins Ghostly trails, shadows whirl in and out. Trees line sad dream in very deep rows. Alas! Danger lurks ahead, no time to scout, Daybreak may hold red meat for the crows. Where you see ahead a bend holds new fear. Echoes call out, watch- remember the past. You shudder deeply, eye finds a lost tear, Pray for help because evil moves in so fast! Sun sets and the darkness looms thick ahead. Falling rays wrapping the shadows in haze. Mind screams out, go away-you are now dead, running along, a fool in a mind lost daze! Shadowy mist, crowding you into its sphere. You choke on cowardice, brought by deep fear! Robert J. Lindley, 09-09-2015 Note- A Dark Sonnet on a blind and lost soul that was gifted light... He that was once lost, found a key. He that once hated all- Found he also hated me.... Answer came, when faith finally made a call.

A sonnet that is dark through and through. Understandable, as the author speaks from the perspective of one who has not yet accepted the gift. I am glad you posted a poetic footnote, it shifts the perspective. 7 as with the other poem. hugs!
