The Ghost Whisper
In the night I’ve heard them whispering,
Echoing voices carried upon the breezes of the softened
Winds, the detached, disembodied begging for helps
Resolve.
Within the rustling leaves of fall, a crispness of winters
Chilling breathes stinging and biting, at the last of the
Summer winds undertow, here in tombstones alley
The season of the dead begins, and the restless
Stir within.
Interments holding cells for the departed deceased,
Graveyard prisons with skeletal inmates rattling
Against their ethereal cages, like wild animals
Clinging to the dream of freedom beyond.
In Isolation's torture chambers beneath this
Cold hard ground, these spiritual beasts
Scream in a howling’s roar, we are here!!
A teasing flickering light, is the power lord of Christ,
As its white a glow, dances on the ferried edges along this
Graveyard of the dead, for this is the valley
Of the dammed, the forgotten, the unforgiving,
Those without remorse’s salvation.
Cold gray numbered stones, with no names reprieve,
Remain the only markers left behind them,
These the criminal insane, driven in life to destroy,
Now even in death they shall find no peace.
For the souls of the innocent patrol here,
The guardians of the faithful, the sentinels
Of God, stalking within the shadows, spiritual walkers
The gate keepers of light, shutting out the darkness
Of hell, by padlocking the iron gates to its entry
Deadened zone.
In the night I’ve heard them whispering,
Echoing voices carried upon the breezes of the softened
Winds, the detached, disembodied begging for helps
Resolve.
Within the rustling leaves of fall, a crispness of winters
Chilling breathes stinging and biting, at the last of the
Summer winds undertow, here in tombstones alley
The season of the dead begins, and the restless
Stir within.
Beware the ghost whisper whom treads on this
Unholy ground, for your footings step is unleveled,
You’ve been tricked my friend dare not turn around,
Leave this place of evil, and resist the lord’s pray,
And get out right now, for you know not what
You may disturb!!!
