Prophet

What? Does my mind scare you, pretty?
There is far more for you to be afraid of.

The reaper’s price is laid upon thy head,
And Death himself is coming to take his toll.

Can’t you hear him whispering through the cemetery trees?
Meeting fate down by the murky bayou,
While Gracie stands at the foot of her own grave.

I am the prophet.
The black messenger.
Care to see the truth in the Raven’s eyes?

One touch from His hands and you’ll turn blue.
The last grain of sand runs through the hour glass.

Run away! Run away!
It’ll do you no good.
Beware the cobblestone streets,
Death, this prophet sees for you.

Oh My mariah, You scare the peers we have here at Author' Den. I'm not so sure that you and Ann Rice aren't too close company sometimes. Gracie is a lil girl who died in the Colonial days. She is seen many times in the attic of The Davenport House in historic Savannah. Her tale is chilling as are the spirits who return to Bonaventure Cemetary where the likes of Johnny Mercer, John Pierpont, my father and other famous people play on other's minds. Don't be afrai for voices and ghosts areharmless messengers ad an immortal way to justify FORVER>

Wonderful emotional piece my dear. As always you make your Momma proud.

Love,
Mom
