Requiem Of Solace ©©

A shiver runs through my soul as I stare off into the night

I don’t know why or what it means

Dark clouds hide the moon plunging the night into total darkness

I hear whispers but can’t hear what they are saying

They are all around me, not far

Not close

As I walk ahead they get farther yet the ones behind are closer

Turning I lean forward to listen but they fall silent

Standing there I listen to my past

My future

But I don’t know what they are saying or what they want

Or even if they are talking to me

Shadows dance to the whispers

Fading in and out of time

Long grey fingers grasp out of the darkness at the night

Desperately longing to touch something familiar

Something to bring it back from the darkness

There is nothing but emptiness left inside this void in time

The wind pushes the dark clouds away

Allowing the moon to shine down once more
There is still nothing but the shadows with no faces all around

Whispering their memories from afar wanting to be remembered

But the moon reveals a path through the shadows to follow

A way out of the darkness perhaps

Or not………..
