Shadow People
A diaphanous glow
This uncanny manifestment
From heinous realm i do now know
Recanting this calamitous affair
A shadowy outline only would show
Then frigid cold air
as I peered into darkness
I could not compare
yet somehow disambiguate
Like antimatter, twas dark
Twas in my kitchen
yes the darkest part
The spot is now landmarked
There was no ommision
Oh my beating heart
and one of a Griffin
I chose to embark as if on a mission
A dog barked, I listened
My courageous approach
I hearked, then resumed my march
Off to their room it would go
Of those whom i love most
Toward the damnable
Flagitous it smelled- so gross
It spelled something- no ghost
Absurd, I'd heard of these..
These unpleasant entities?
Concerned to say the least..Jesus please!
Had i brought it inadvertently?
Self resentment, what's my defense?
And should i repent?
On he I depend...I didn't forget
Was it invoked, or did i provoke?
This silhouette, at fourteen feet
this was no joke
Twas not forseen
I would not choke
The divine I would seek
On high, the almighty
Twas he I'd beseech
Signs all around
Self awareness increased
I prayed over them
Back to the netherworld
Back with the beast
I said stay away from them
I'd somehow mend a breech
Day to day I pray for them
and this has brought me peace.
