Shadows Poem by Vi Lanflagle

creaking doors
haunted hallways
swishing sounds
clinking noises
laughing voices.

lay in bed
no one's supposed to be there
cold air blows
whispers in the breezes
time when the whole world freezes.

soft music plays
soothing like a lullaby
eerie voice sings a song:
come with me
soon you'll see.....

voice slowly fades away
struggling to stay awake
i lose the battle, so delicious a feeling,
i drift seamlessy into sleep
at least that's what i think..
