Shadows At Midnight



There it was, as I lay awake again
A figure hovering in the dark
“What could that be?”
This question I always ask.

It certainly looked that way,
An image of him I see
But how? When he is far away,
Over the land of the rising sea.

Still, rather than conjuring scary images
Of restless souls and ghouls that creep
I know this sight I now behold is just the power of his thoughts,
of longing to be with me despite our distance so I smile and just fall back to sleep..


(This is a poem I wrote more than 5 years ago. Whew! can't believe this year's almost halfway since I lost posted. I probably would be actively blogging again. Let's see where this leads).
