the lost way 22

dark shadows



Now the group can't turn back
There is no bridge for them to do
Forward march they must go
They look at each other “now what?”

The misty night shadows
Floating into their view
Emerging from the dark forest
The misty shadows move

“Guys we better hurry!
This isn't good in the forest
These misty shadows aren't human
We must stay together!”

They run following the trail
Legs pounding hard on the wet ground
Hitting broken twigs and fallen leaves
Breathing heavily they run

The misty shadows laugh
“You can't hide from your sins
No matter where you want to hide
We will come to you.....”

They run for hours
Finally they stop
“We can't be running
We must find a way home”

On the big boulders
They stop take a break
“What are those misty shadows?”
They seem to know us”

“Maybe they are us
The way we have sinned
In our political power and greed
Our conscious telling us....”

“You don't talk rubbish
We must find a way home”
“Unless we repent of our sins
Maybe the spirits will let us go”
