LIVING
Seek and you shall find
what the mind may hide.
Follow the soft sighs
to where the bird flies.
Dig deeper into your dream
as you float with the stream.
Time will never end
nor will it ever bend.
Enjoy the here and now
as I give my last bow.
The brisk nip in the air,
as we trudge in the snow.
We feel an icy wind on our faces
as it pummels our bodies.
Someone else has done it.
We follow the footsteps,
a frozen trail in the snow.
Lines of footsteps.
Where do they lead?
Where are the people going?
Are their lives happy?
Are they walking alone
or in groups?
What can you see in a footstep?
Follow a set and find out.

THE HUNT
It first comes slowly
in the dead of night.
Walking on silent feet,
it draws near.
You run faster,
but it speeds up.
You dash into a building,
an empty school.
It soon follows,
bringing with it a silence.
You can feel its presence
as it moves closer.
It follows you
down the deserted hallway.
You check the doors.
You jiggle the knobs.
They’re all locked.
You turn around
and stand strong.
Darkness falls
to encompass all.

INTO THE DARK NIGHT
Follow me along the cobbled road.
Shadows lurk and float on by.
Hurry, catch up before I grow old.
Winged creatures fill the night sky.
My high heels click against the cobbled stones.
This way to the oldest building in town.
Take care not to step on any bones.
Curve your mouth to remove that awful frown.
Up the steps, we go.
Please walk through the open door.
Is he friend or foe?
Multiple heads hint at more.
Growls fill the still air.
Darkness permeates the long room.
Reaching hands grow near.
A woman flies by on a broom.
“Surprise” is shouted by all.
Lights shine brightly in our faces.
Enters a man ten feet tall.
Standing high on metal braces.
He holds a cake rimmed with black bats.
The audience quiets to a hush.
My friends approach in party hats.
They sing to me as I hide a blush.
“Happy Halloween” and “Happy Birthday”
Become “Happy Hallowday.”
As I bow my head and enjoy my day.
A prank I must soon repay.
FOLLOW THE LIGHTS
Follow the lights to the house of glass.
There will be much splendor in the grass.
Lights in the trees as far as the eye could see.
A more decadent event there could not be.
Champagne will be flowing until the wee hours.
Come with me and dance among the pretty flowers.
This room full of guests gives me a chill.
Maybe we should leave I’ve had my fill.
Eyes are following us in the room.
They will be upon us all too soon.
The guests are not what they appear.
Beneath they are just bones and hair.
THE DEAD GAME

The waves are washing in.
But I can still see him.
He’s followed me here.
Must not let him get near.
He has returned from the dead.
I won’t let him in my bed.
He wants me for his queen.
With him I can’t be seen.
The tides are surely rising.
My mind is agonizing.
How will I manage to get away
Before the dawn of the new day?
THE DEAD GAME
The path to the unknown.
Take it to the end.
No right or left turns.
Only straight ahead.
The light glimmers.
It beckons to us.
We must follow it.
We have no choice.
The end is waiting.
The road above or below?
I can take the straight and narrow.
Follow where others have already gone.
I can walk a different pathway.
Far from the beaten path.
Where danger might be lurking.
Darkness might reign free.
I’m ready.
Let’s go!
Follow me on my journey.
Stay close behind.
I’m out for adventure.
Out to have some fun.
I don’t care if I have company.
More people to party with.
We’ll drive to the end of the road.
Then we’ll find another.
Until I’m far away from home.
Away from my troubles.
Away from people who bring me down.
Will you bring me down?
Are you from my past?
I must speed up and lose you.
I don’t want any old baggage.
I want to be free and light.
The car is gone.
Good!
Oh no!
It’s waiting for me up ahead.
I guess you can’t escape your problems.
They follow you everywhere.
