Haunting

It sent a shock down the spine

Silently my soul cried with a whine!!

Haunting memories stir the soul,

Unbalanced my nerves shudder!

Helpless I blink my eyes...

Could not stir from where I sat!

With his aged hand he gripped the seat

Down his head went with ease and

Tongue struck out it drooled...

Uneasiness gripped my eyes.

Mind boggling in another sense

He sat there as a symbol of misery...

Pulling myself I divert my eyes.

Bubbling with spirit a baby laughed

Together everything shone bright.

Two extremes thrown open

My heart struggled to beat normal.

With a smile I gathered strength.

Life is there at your hands

Wake up from your trance.
