Haunting

Haunting

A Poem by A.N. Alexei
"

Empty not is the casket Without a sound mind

"
Empty is the craddle
That still rocks along
No one plays the instrument
But continues the song

Empty are the shoes on the ground
That leave a trail behind
Empty not is the casket
Without a sound mind

And now comes the soul
Without a body at hand
It can hear children laugh
And continue to play in the sand

Now it comes for them,
And in anger it grew bigger then before
They hear they hear the shallow breaths
as it creeps behind their door

It took them by hand
Bringing them with it
The adults hear the crying
But take it as a fit

Once the silence came
The adults began to worry
They called for the children
Then ran to them in a hurry

They saw the darkness and screamed
But now only silence can be heard
Nothing, not the sway of the trees
Or the chirps of a bird
