A Soul's Fight

A Soul's Fight The soul faces what the stoutest heart dares not to speak dark spirits that make our knees wobble and voices squeak Battering rams plunging in rhythm against castle's gate shadow voices accusing and promising such a ghastly fate! As the last rays of Sun's golden light creeps slowly away the invisible servants of the Dark Lord rise up to play With each darkening hour so very much stronger they grow sharpening claws, teeth and screeching everywhere they go! When the sound of the house clock striking at midnight serves to cheer them on to ever greater songs of fright Draw your courage blade and cut deeply into that horde make them feel the pain and slash of truth's best sword! Cut out the great fear they carry around to use to seed the horrors and scary thoughts sent to make you plead Loudly announce as you send thier defeated asses to hell that it is courage and truth ringing freedom's liberty bell! Robert J. Lindley 07-13-2014 Inspired by a haunting dream I had last night. Fast asleep my soul fought a valiant fight! The battle's ending I may write soon ...... as part two... A Soul's Fight the Battle Ends.....................

Thank you Tim. I often have very vivid dreams. The ones about sexy and beautiful women are a real joy however on the other hand the bad ones more than make up for it in bad!

Spooky, Robert... I hate those dreams when I wake up cold and shaking. We are waiting for the finale.
