Darkness In Death

The wind is soft while the stream ripples rapidly.
The storm clouds gather.
And the rain is heavy.
The wind picks up.
The lightning strikes fast.
And when it hits rock, it splits it in a flash.
I look through the crack.
There is darkness below in soul, hiding for someone to awaken it.
Death is a body passing through you.
It is sadness in a form of trust.
It kills you.
A shadow that hovers over you.
When I say I have a poem, story or a song for you – listen to it.
And don’t laugh.
Because when I die my ghost will haunt you.
Forever it will curse and kill you.
