Demon of Darkness

 

 Demon of Darkness

Twas a demon in the night when darkness falls

On Bolt Mountain, I heard its call

It echoed on the mountain and the valley below

Chaos exploded as a stag and his doe

Ran from the whispers with fear in their eyes

The deer heard it too; I'm not telling lies

A demon spoke my name in whispered tones

I listened closely and heard its moans

Low whispers scratching in my ear

In the fog there's much to fear

Dead logs moved on the path

Whispers grew louder, I felt its wrath

Deeper and deeper I ventured in

Following those low whispers of sin

Hot breath blew across my hair

I turned around, but no one was there

A sinister laugh caught me off guard

I tripped on a branch and hit the ground hard

There it is again, on my neck its hot breath

Its whispers I understand; it speaks of death

Invisible hands cut off my air

My eyes bulging, still no one is there

The stench of its breath, in my nostrils burn

I was gripped with fear, a real concern

Out of the darkness I saw a light

In the distance, it was oh so bright

Suddenly the demon loosed its grip

I pulled away, but my foot did slip

A still small voice called my name

I had heard it before and it was the same

My demon fled at the sound it the voice

I turned to see my Savior and I did rejoice

Nevermore will I give the demon its due

I'll stick close to the voice that is now calling to you

WOW!!! I have literally had this experience ... the ear whispering... no one there. Hmm.. perhaps I should leave that tid bit to myself, before the rumors start to fly and all... lol.

This has an awesome flow, Nancy. The reference to temptation -- demons speaking to us -- then comes the voice of reason -- the voice of truth. The struggle within that we face daily -- good vs. evil. Wonderful ending as the narrator submits to the right voice!!

"I stick close to the voice that is now calling you". -- Very inspiring. :)

Great work!
