Things Lurking

Things Lurking….

 Slowly, my sanity is challenged!
         Fingers all asking me why,
                As they stare a for a while,
                      Mouth parting slightly with a hard 
                          Gaze on,                                
                               I replied abruptly,
                                   Judge me not,
                                      There is no object not
                                          Driven by external force.

                                  Why thou question my sanity?
                                  I manage to stagger lazily to
                                  The rest room.
                    Closed door, appears slightly opened,
                  Hissing, I wore looks of…
              Perhaps it did escape my memories,
          My thoughts deepened,
 Its manifestation, was without my awareness,
 I did remember.

 Slowly, my sanity is challenged!
     Countless and repeatedly, we all experience,
         Yet unnoticed.
           Puzzles, unsolved
                 Mysteries, unraveled
                       Stories untold
                           Situations unobserved
                                Clamoring for answers to     
                                     Quench the insatiable 
                                          Thirst of my curiosity.

I Just know, there are things LURKING in the SHADOWS…….
