The Shadow Demons
9 June, 2002
author: Rebecca Ditch-Hammack (aka Dreamer)
As I lay my head down to sleep
In the deep shadows the demons creep
Slithering close as the dreams start to come
Reaching and grasping till they grab onto one
The brightness of the dreams turn quickly dark
I run for my life from the things in the park
Slashing knives thrash my skin
Connecting sometimes, I cry out from within
I run away from them as fast as I can
As I try to devise some sort of plan
A tornado spins and the skies turn dark
I try to hide myself and my friends safely away
Some sort of hero I try to be
While tornados and slashers try to get me
My back to a corner as the demons are soaring
I cry out, open my eyes, and gladly its morning

This is a twist in your writing for me, could almost feel a touch of "Seiz breeze" in this one. Two things; 1, I'm glad you oofered protection not only for yourselfy, but also for your friends. Two: That you opened your eyes and escaped. I enjoyed it, as you tell, Thanks. MartinV |
