Beckoning

Upon a walk

Through the foggy woods

Fears have returned

As I expected they would,

My shadow follows

Another appears from behind

Is it an illusion

I focus and notice

That's it's another than mine,

A full body apparition

Could it be

It had darkened the path

Behind me,

It's a presence I've known all too well

A shadow that ensues me

I wonder, attempting to cast a spell,

For it tries and tries

When things are going good

To bring me down

All the way to the hounds of hell

So far that I can hear

Their demonic growls,

I stop in my footsteps

In the light

On bended knee

Beckoning for this shadow

To be exposed

So it will no longer attempt to harm me

But does not seem to be the case

Forever, it seems it will oppose.

Creative,with awesome imagery. I like this one alot. Looking forward to reading more of your work. I'm curious to see what spells you will cast from your book of shadows,haha.

We all have fear...sometimes it brings out the courageous side of us (like in this poem) and somethings it is crippling. You are one of the stronger few. This is a wonderful write and was an absolute pleasure to read.

Thank you so much for your kind words

I love the idea that fear can be felt always and somehow paranoid (excuse my spelling) to take a decision and to be always afraid to make a mistake that will make you lose forever. I enjoyed it great write

Thank you

This speaks to me of fear and how it follows us in our path and tries to trip up our every step along the way. Love 'their demonic growls' speaks volumes on how fear is gripping and can take over our lives if we allow it. Another fine read.

[Tarry Franck]

Thank you so much.

It is a process to grow out of your fears and this work tells of your efforts to do that. It is well composed and I notice a growing maturity in your works. This work has substance and depth and was a truly enjoyable read.

i know this feeling vey well. is it something evil waiting for you to mis-step? is it something within you which you cannot grasp? is it just your imagination playing tricks on you? this is a deep, dark and scintillating piece!

[Tarry Franck]

Yet again - You know exactly where I'm coming from!!!! I'm so glad you understand. Thank you :)

[quinfinn]

i think that sometimes kindred minds think alike? always love your writes.

[Tarry Franck]

You read my mind - I was going to say the same thing to you when I responded - Kindred souls - Always love your writes too. I just wish I would have written it first now :( lol You beat me to it LOL :)

What haunts us? Do we all have these ghost to battle? I think so. Be glad you see it. Be glad you know to stop and kneel and wait patiently.
A deep thought!
Great write.
