This is more internal than external, the ghosts within ourselves searching for light and meaning, ways of escape. Strong and dark and very worthy.

....the air in this is stilled and chilled and vaporous; like choking when you know full.well that you can breathe.....like swallowing the last of your self trying to find it again. .. .you make the the most fearful of isolative moments seem very audaciously fearless, as if one can grip the grim reaper's hand, and simply shake it and smile. ..
this was captivating.

Fantastic poem, Gene! I sense that this could be a life-long intruder in the mind,that cannot be removed. Surely a script for a scary Hitchcock type movie, a psychological thriller!...Go for it!;-)

Gene this reminds me of someone facing/uncovering old fears...it has a hypnotic quality to it...someone being led through the attics and closets of their life...Great read Gene

Sometimes the horrors are in our minds and we project these fears out into the open. Very intriguing piece...

I'd run like thunder, too, if I heard a disembodied voice saying, "Everything has his time." Good grief - this is chillingly effective! Well done, Gene.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

This reminds me of the movie I watched last night, Goya's Ghosts. If I had lived back then, I wouldn't have given up scotch. This is a mind in great distress. I've been there. It sounds familiar.

A psychological thriller - ghosts of one's past haunting the mind - trying to find a way out of the sinister recollections only to find it is not the right time? This is my interpretation. This poem is eerily sad. Maybe the healing can well up from the heart and infiltrate the mind with the light it needs to no longer be afraid.
