THEY’RE HERE TO STAY

 

Look at the pretty sky.
Such beauty way up high.
Clouds drifting by so slowly
Like a shrine to what’s holy.

All of this will soon come to an end.
Don’t bother to search for a friend.
The moon will rise up in the night sky
Into the danger from what lurks high.

Dark shadows will descend onto the sand.
Shrieking louder than a marching band.
What do they want from our peaceful town?
Death and mayhem–all served with a frown.

Run for your life if you still can.
A danger for each and every man.
The Dead are here to stay.
They didn’t come to play.

THE DEAD GAME

This could be equated to the biblical apocalypse. Where Revelation states that all the dead will rise and take their rightful place in heaven. Along the way they may cause the havoc you describe coming out of those countless graves, marked and unmarked, where they currently reside. Chillingly cool.

The walking dead and things that go bump in the night
have struck more fear into the hearts of us all than
almost anything else. Spooky aftershocks of Hallowe'en
ripple through your well-crafted words.

Shiverous morning after I read this Susanne, You sure know how to put the chill in the darkly morning waters, Nice photo accompaniment, hope you have a great day. xo

While the poem opens with a sublime overture to the beauties of nature, it quickly moves into the dark beauties of the night, ending surprisingly with "the dead".
