Devil In the Graveyard

The lightings strikes and the thunder rolls    
but how can it be my names on this tombstone.
As the devil been out, collecting mens  souls.
Seeing my name as sent a shiver down by backbone.

But how can it be my names on this tombstone.
A hand on my shoulder and a whispered word.
Seeing my name sent a shiver down by backbone.
Is this my greeting have I joined the devils work.


A hand on my shoulder and a whispered word.
As the devil been out, collecting mens  souls.
Is this my greeting have I joined the devils work.
The lightings strikes and the thunder rolls.

A fine job my friend. A creepy tale indeed. Seeing your own grave can be a bit unsettling. Really well done with great imagery. Happy Halloween to you and a seven from me. God Bless and thanks for the kind words on my "Sisters of Bowling Green". JB
