Echoes & Shadows
There are Faces in the Shadows
Everywhere I Look—
And Echoes of the Gallows
In Every Look Mistook—
And Mystery in the Hollows—
Secrets of The Rook—
Some Ghost that Always Wallows
In The End of Every Book—
A Precipice to Every Age—
A Storm in Every Cloud—
A Nightmare for Every Page,
Pausing—at the Speed of Sound—
And Seven Reasons to be Afraid
Of Paralyzing Reveries—
Faces Cold, and Still—Displayed
In Agonizing Freeze!—
Tortured Souls Held in Abeyance—
In Prisons of The Mind—
Though Free of All Attachments,
Swaying, in the Noose of Time—
And some of them Perfected Breathing
While Overcoming Strife—
And many of them still Waiting—
For some Perpetual Life—
So I keep a Lantern at my Side,
But with the Wick down very Low—
So All the Faces have a Place to Hide,
And the Echoes, a Place to Go—
And Every Night, in Every Dream,
We Always Meet, Inside The Mind—
We say Farewell—though no one Leaves,
For what's Alive, will Never Die...
