Mysterious Dream

There was a house in my dream
Vacant it stood as it would seem
I entered the house in my dream
To see that which couldn't be seen 

The first room was bare and white 
Except for footprints as dark as night
I decided to keep them within my sight
Suddenly they trailed off to the right 

In a doorway I stood of another room 
Vacant it was as that's what I assume
Wait! Was there a mirror in the room?
Alone it stood in this room of gloom

I ventured in to see what could be seen 
What was I to see within this dream?
Just my reflection as it would seem
Then I saw that which couldn't be seen

The fright was more than I could bear
My heart jumped because of the scare
I froze captivated by a ghostly stare
Should I speak to her? I didn't dare

It was a ghostly girl staring back at me
Yet invisible outside the mirror you see
She spoke to me a message and a plea
Pointing to a window saying I should flee

I peered out the window to my surprise 
A fearful warning to my tired eyes
Death was coming for me I surmise 
I knew at that moment I should hide

Out of the house I fled that faithful day
For an unknown ghost pointed the way
That which is unseen vanished away
A mysterious message. Wouldn’t you say?
