VOICES IN THE SHADOWS We’re here amongst the darkness to greet your every fear; we wander through your nightmares and sometimes bring on tears Once long forgotten shadows that are better left for dead we stalked you in the jungle… today we whisper in your head Can you hear the voices calling to take you back again? Do you see us in the shadows as nightfall once begins? You can hear us if you listen to the scream heard in the night. We vanish when you’re watching into another’s sleepless fright An aging, war torn soldier looks out as far as he can see; the tombstones never ending and the voices never cease ©November 13, 2003 Linda
