The Haunting

The haunting.... Who knows what lies Beyond these creaking doors Of time? Beyond our minds Beyond our eyes.... We live our days We live our lives We dream these dreams And then, we die We die not knowing The other side? The other side Not knowing The darkest tide.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The haunting!?

The unknown is scary...But praise God he can take all our fear and let us feel secure..Sara

Yes, we surely do not know what's on the other side, but maybe it's best that we don't...ignorance is blessing. Luv, Emily

time is a mystery. i like this poem..much darkness in it, the dark think this way. just make sure that you have one of your own, so you can play tricks back onto them. creative, this one of yours makes me think tonight, John. ~Always&Forever Lynette

The haunting of what we do not know exisist is a shame. May be for some time after death, we will open our eyes we are the ones haunting eachother. A wonderful poem John. Takes me on the wonders of what is really on the otherside. For some reason the way of lives does not let us see beyound our own perceptions that we are grown to know.. I truly love this poem. Thank you John,..Sidney LeeAnn
