The Long Dark Shadow Poem by Carolyn Sears

I feel like my fate is catching
Up with me

Here come that long dark
Shadow quickly gaining on
Me

There is something strange
In the mystic wind

That long dark shadow is
Racing with the wind

It has a strange air about
It

But I just can’t figure what

It leaves a trail of darkness
Where day cannot abide

The stench is quite unbearable
With long trails of his coming

I try to hide behind every
Corner

I think will keep me from it’s
Path

I bend down on my knees and
Pray

The lord will sit me on his holy
Ground

I know than I will be safe from
The darkness shadow that seeks

Out to steal one’s soul..
