The Room of Shadows |
The child’s laughter ceased |
As he tiptoed by |
That dreaded open door |
With a cursory glance into its depths |
As if to reassure |
He never really understood |
What first made him hate that room |
But childish intuition knew |
Something lurked within its gloom |
He knew the room held many things |
That came from long ago |
But why they were kept within that room |
A child of eight wouldn’t know |
He sensed a dark force that dwelt within |
That watched his every move |
Hidden deep within the shadowy bowels |
Of that accursed room |
It took every bit of courage |
To retrieve that bouncing ball |
That always rolled into that room |
When he was playing in the hall |
Sheer terror would grip the child’s heart |
If he found himself alone |
And a glimpse of a fleeting figure |
Would turn his legs to stone |
He would lay a salt trail all around the room |
For why he never knew |
But a voice from deep within him |
Told him exactly what to do |
Adults seem quite unaware |
Of the demon that waits inside |
And laugh at his reluctance |
To cross that threshold line |
The adults lost their perception of |
The truth only a child can see |
The price we pay for material gain |
The price for material greed |
The years have passed and the memories dim |
The child is now full grown |
Still living in the family house |
With young children of his own |
His sights are now firmly set upon |
The furthering of his life |
Aided and abetted, by a materialistic wife |
But his eldest son, has a morbid fear |
Of the antiques room off the hall |
And eh keeps leaving a trail of salt along |
The room’s perimeter wall |
