A Step in the Dark

User Rating:

10.0 /10
(3 votes)



  A life I cannot save:
two feet on the ground
death makes no sound;
it just lingers all around.
The wind just blows
as the spirits walk the streets.

A cold breeze disappears
and a warm glimmer stays;
as my spirit glows
in the star starved sky...
...a peace overcomes with a thin breeze
and the wind is calling
to the ghosts of the past –
death will come,
fear no death.
When the streetlights flicker as
leaves walk past...

...the wind blows:
carefree like the innocence of childhood
and
the wind brings hope
that lay:
hidden within the brown yellow, green, red
autumn leaves.

A warm breath appears on the window:
misting my vision into vast
flowing of soft wintery weather.

What sound do footsteps make?
when they fall on brown wooden
stairs in the darkness,
a thud, thud, thud...
...grows within the looming distance!

A sound that brings longing and
a slender silence of lust
to the pensioners heart:
engulfing the joy of peace that
awaits upon him
as death will come,
fear no death!


By Celine Berghmans and Michael O'Leary
